The Mayor of Dudley is inviting people to his traditional civic service next month.
Councillor Ray Burston, the borough’s first citizen, will lead the special Civic Sunday event at St Margaret’s Church, Hagley Road, Hasbury, on July 6, from 3pm.
Mayors from across the Black Country have also been invited to share in the occasion along with other civic dignitaries and ex-servicemen. Members of the public are also invited to attend.
A small civic procession will take place from neighbouring Hasbury CE Primary School into the church. The service will then be conducted jointly by Canon John Everest, the Mayor’s chaplain and Father Rob Hall, parish priest. Refreshments will take place in the school hall after the service.
Councillor Ray Burston, Mayor of Dudley, said:
“Civic Sunday is always a special event for the Mayor and I am especially looking forward to this year’s.
“The service is open to everyone to attend and it will be fantastic to see the church full of people sharing in this special occasion.”
