BRADFORD’S new Lord Mayor was handed his chains of office on the stage of the Alhambra Theatre today. Manningham Councillor Shabir Hussain took on the role at the first physical meeting of Bradford Council since March 2020. But with no room in City Hall able to accommodate all 90 councillors, as well as officers, press and Council staff, the event was held in the Council owned theatre. At the meeting Cllr Hussain paid tribute to the heroes of the Covid 19 Pandemic, including the NHS staff who cared for him when he was struck down with the virus. Cllr Hussain (Lab) has been Deputy Mayor for the past two years. He takes over from Councillor Doreen Lee, who was Lord Mayor for an unprecedented two years after the pandemic led to last year’s Mayor Making ceremony being cancelled.
Councillor Pat Taylor
The traditional formal “Mayor Making” ceremony is on hold pending hopefully the removal of Covid restrictions towards the end of June.
Normally held at the Town Hall, once there is a green light to return to full use of the Town Hall, Councillors will then consider taking this forward.
Councillor Pat Taylor was elected to Stoodley Ward, Todmorden Town Council, in May 2019 since when she has been actively involved in representing resident’s interests through an active social media presence.
The Mayor said: “I was thrilled to be elected The Mayor of Todmorden and am extremely fortunate to be working with such a very skilled group of Town Councillors and Staff.
