Mayor of Worthing receives new community-funded robe

The Mayor of Worthing, Councillor Ibsha Choudhury, debuted a new mayoral robe at the town’s remembrance services thanks to fundraising led by the local community.

Residents worked together to fund the creation of a new animal-friendly mayoral robe after concerns that the town’s historic robes were not appropriate for all wearers.
