The Mayor of Warwick, Cllr Simon Pargeter, has had a busy first couple of months in the role and has praised the community for its efforts. Here are his thoughts on the past two months.

As I reflect on my first two months as Mayor of Warwick, I feel incredibly proud and honoured to represent such a wonderful town.

It has been a privilege to attend so many fantastic community events, support our charities, celebrate our local businesses, and meet so many inspiring people.

What has impressed me most is the incredible dedication of our volunteers.

Time and again I have seen people giving up their own time to organise events, support charities, care for others, preserve our heritage, and help make Warwick the vibrant and welcoming town it is today.

Their commitment often goes unseen, but they are the backbone of our community, and Warwick simply would not be the same without them.

I’ve also been delighted to see the positive impact of the many events and projects supported by Warwick Town Council, bringing people together, attracting visitors, and supporting our independent businesses.

As Mayor, I am proud to be raising awareness of prostate cancer through my chosen charity, the Graham Fulford Charitable Trust.

If encouraging just one more person to get tested leads to an earlier diagnosis, then it will have been worthwhile.

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed and supported me during these first two months.

It is a real privilege to serve as your Mayor, and I look forward to continuing to celebrate the people, volunteers and community spirit that make Warwick such an extraordinary place.
