Councillor Chris Parsons has come to the end of his term of office as Mayor of Pershore after 11 years and he has just helped to raise more than £12,000 which will be donated to charity. Since being elected to the Town Council in 1987 Mr Parsons has served 11 years as mayor and 10 as deputy mayor. He said: It’s been a privilege and an honour to be the mayor, and I think it always is when you re allowed to represent your town – it’s been particularly difficult during the last 12 months because most of our meetings have been conducted on zoom, but fortunately face-to-face meetings will be back next week.
