DISABLED access will be the subject of new Town Mayor Cllr Stuart Wood's mayoral appeal.

Cllr Wood announced his intention after accepting office at Monday evening’s traditional Town Hall mayor-making ceremony, writes John Dowling.

The Town’s Charter Trustees, Bexhill councillors on Rother District Council, had planned for the Liberal Democrat to become Deputy Mayor to Tory group member Gillian Wheeler.

He has stepped up a place following Gillian’s defeat at the May 5 district elections, with former Town Mayor, Conservative Cllr Joanne Gadd, as his Deputy for the coming year.

Cllr Wood told his fellow Charter Trustees and guests: “Because of my work with the disabled when I was in charge of Oakhaven, a holiday home for the disabled, I would like to help the disabled of Bexhill.
