“During my tenure as Mayor, I will set out to preserve and promote a spirit of compassionate service, addressing the needs of everyone in our communities, to improve the quality of life of all citizens and free the potential of each person.
“The tradition and role of the Mayor, is both an honour and a calling with responsibilities. In my humble acceptance of the honour, as Mayor of Worthing, I consider that the heart of my calling is to serve the interests of the people of Worthing”.
