Since beating the Liberal Democrats into the Castle Without ward in May 2007, Catherine Bursnall has risen quickly risen up the ranks and is set to become the youngest ever Mayor when she replaces the current Mayor on May 25.

I have had the “pleasure” of seeing the current mayor, Jesse Grey, in early 2010 and I was rather under-whelmed by the experience! I am sure he is a very good person and doing a stand up job, but I did wonder how he got the job in the first place as his public speaking left rather allot to be desired.

We wish Catherine Bursnall, or Cat as she likes to be called, all the very best in her new role.
