Our mayor is dedicated to supporting local businesses and encouraging residents to do the same. During November 2024, the Town Council organized a festive competition with the theme of "Best Christmas Window Display."

Throughout the holiday season, our town's businesses showcased their creativity and community spirit with beautifully decorated windows. Our mayor had the pleasure of touring the town to admire the festive displays and select the winner and runner-up.

Congratulations to the winners! Pictured below, you can see our mayor with the winners:

• LEFT: The Farleigh Hospice Charity Shop, who took first place with their heart warming and festive display.

• RIGHT: Bread Box, the runner-up, with their charming and creative external and design.

Thank you to all the businesses that participated and helped make our town shine during the holiday season. Let's continue to support our local businesses and celebrate the community we love!

Our Mayor's Deputy attends events when the Mayor is unavailable, but they may occasionally also attend some events together. 

Our Deputy Mayor was able to attend the Chameleon Theatre Arts " Family Fun Day" on the 1st February 2025, to look around and meet student dancers, their families and staff.  Centre is Cllr Tony Perham Lake, our deputy for 2024/5.

The Town Mayor and his Consort were thrilled to attend the 50th Anniversary celebration of SWF Yacht Club on Sunday 8th June. A wonderful afternoon tea was enjoyed with some musical entertainment. It was fabulous to have the team from the RNLI there who one of the Mayor's chosen charities for this year. 

On Saturday, 14th June, the Town Mayor attended a heartwarming and engaging dementia-friendly sing-along event at the South Woodham Ferrers Library. The gathering was organized to provide a joyful and inclusive experience for individuals living with dementia, their families, and caregivers.

Our Mayor was delighted to be invited along to the Maldon Armed Forces Day on the 29th June 2025. There he met other representatives of local areas, and also cadets, veterans and  owners of some historic vehicles.  It was great to meet everyone and he went on to take part in the parade of the veterans and cadets from many parts of the area. He also was able to enjoy the fly past by the BBMF Lancaster. The armed forces and other services remain important to our current mayor and is one of the reasons he chose his 2 chosen charities for 2025/6.
