The Mayor referred with sadness to the recent deaths of former Mayor and Councillor Fred Quayle and local sporting hero Ernie Moss. A minute’s silence was held in their honour.

The Mayor expressed her delight at once again being able to attend engagements in person and summarised recent events which she and the consort had attended including:

•        A visit to the Chesterfield Sea Cadets at Wallis Barracks where the Mayor’s cadets were invested, and the unit was observed rehearsing for the Mayor’s Civic Parade.

•        The Centenary Parade of the Royal British Legion to mark their special year followed by refreshments at their headquarters.

•        The first ever NHS, Social Care and Frontline Worker’s Day on Monday 5th July to pay tribute to the fantastic NHS, social care and frontline workers who had gone above and beyond the call of duty during the last eighteen months.

The Mayor invited all members to join her at her Gala Dinner to be held at the Technique Stadium on Friday 11th March 2022, in support of the Mayor’s Appeal Charities.
