We would like to thank our outgoing Mayor Councillor Mrs Liz Whitehouse for all her hard work and dedication to the town during the past 12 months. We also welcome our newly elected Mayor Councillor Ms Paulette Upton (pictured on the right) with newly elected deputy Mayor and District Councillor Kate Mills.
The Town Mayor's first words after being elected were “let's get things done to continue to make Cheadle a great place to live”. True to form our reporter found her at Cheadle Memorial Recreation Ground on Tean Road, working with a local craftsman, to fix security brackets to the park benches, so she definitely doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. She is a nurse at a local GP practice. Her hobbies include listening to music (Northern Soul in particular), dining out, and going to the the theatre, she has four grandchildren, and certainly kept busy. Her chosen charities for the year are Equal Base and the Cheadle Food Bank. Mayor Upton is a member of Team Cheadle, local community group which helps to organise local events such as the Christmas lights switch-on.
Our newly appointed Deputy Mayor (pictured on the left) is District and Town Councillor Mrs Kate Mills and she will be keeping a close eye on what Staffordshire Moorlands District Council are doing, she chairs Community Services, and is also Scrutiny Panel member. "I will be a strong voice representing the town’s best interests," she told us. Deputy Mayor Mills enjoys gardening, Indian Food and relaxing with her husband. She has been a youth worker for 30 years and offers support to Moorlands Home Link and an indoor cycling teacher at the Body Bank Gym in Cheadle.
On behalf of our editor, I would like to wish the team the best of luck in helping to turn the town into the Jewel of the Moorlands.
