Shrewsbury's new mayor says: 'I want to champion the cause of people who have mobility issues so that we are as inclusive a town as possible.'
Shrewsbury's mayor for the next year is Councillor Becky Wall, who has taken over from Councillor Elisabeth Roberts after being appointed at a Theatre Severn ceremony this week. Councillor David Vasmer was also appointed deputy mayor.
She said: “I’m looking forward to the next twelve months and it is a great privilege to be elected as mayor of Shrewsbury following on from all those who have held the post before me. "Recently I have been unfortunate in having to rely on a wheelchair due to short term mobility issues and getting around in a wheelchair has often proven difficult. I want to champion the cause of people who have mobility issues so that we are as inclusive a town as possible."
“Councillor Roberts has done so much to champion the diversity in our communities and ensure that our town can cater for all and I want to continue that in areas close to my heart.”“During my mayoral year, I will be supporting Diabetes UK and Guide Dogs for the Blind. As a diabetic myself I appreciate the support that Diabetes UK gives to sufferers, and I nearly faced the possibility of needing a Guide Dog when a suffered a period of blindness as a result of my condition.
