MAYOR’S VOICE

As I head towards the final weeks of my time as your Mayor of Bromley, the events I have recently attended have given me the opportunity to reflect on the past year.

I had the great honour of leading the Council’s Ukraine Remembrance Service, held to express Bromley’s solidarity with our Ukrainian neighbours one year after the full-scale invasion of their country.

Though it was a solemn occasion, it also gave me the opportunity to express my pride in Bromley’s response to this terrible crisis.

I was proud again when I handed out my Mayor of Bromley Awards for 2023 to five incredibly deserving people: Nicola de Lobel and Nick Barclay, who founded lung cancer charity Everybreath; Tatiana Pipac, who has worked tirelessly to help Ukrainians here in Bromley and back in her homeland over the last year; Megan Wallace, who has tremendous enthusiasm for improving the care system and providing support and assistance
