THE town's new mayor has said she will be holding her civic service in October, and all are invited.

Mayor of Redditch councillor Juliet Brunner recently attended the civic service of councillor Christine Bowden, mayor of Droitwich Town Council.

The procession left the town hall and marched to the service which was held at St Andrew’s Church in the town centre.

Speaking on this Mayor Brunner said: "It is a privilege to represent Redditch at civic services.

"I will be holding my own civic service in October and I would like to invite residents to attend and celebrate and hopefully pack out St Stephen's Church."
