BOLLARDS FOR FORMER MAYOR
A former mayor is to be commemorated by the unveiling of a dual erection in the town centre.
Mayor Harry Webb, who died in a freak accident involving a pork pie and a tin of shoe polish on April 27, 2004, is to be honoured three years to the day after his death.
Two bollards were chosen for the memorial to remind people of the distinctive lumps which projected from either side of Mayor Webb’s head, requiring him to spend his life wearing hats at a jaunty angle.
Present-day mayor Peter Rudge will preside over the unveiling ceremony, which takes place outside the public conveniences in St Alfege Street, at 10am on Friday, April 27.
