SIR – Worcester has a new mayor. It seems a councillor has handed over the chain to another councillor who narrowly edged out another councillor for the job of mayor.
Reassuringly, a councillor managed to get the job of deputy mayor. I can’t remember seeing this job being advertised anywhere for the best possible candidate.
This makes me think it might be jobs for the boys (or girls). Please, somebody prove me wrong. A large list of noncouncillor mayors would be a good start.
