A FORMER councillor and keen voluntary worker from Otley has been given the prestigious title of Honorary Alderman of Leeds.
Hilda Morgan, 63, who attended a special ceremony at Leeds Civic Hall yesterday, said she was bemused when found out she was to receive the title.
She said yesterday morning: "I'm pleased I have been chosen for it, but I shall have to find out more about it when I get there."
Mrs Morgan served on Leeds City Council from 1979 to 1984, and was a member of Otley Town Council for 15 years. She also served as a magistrate at Otley Magistrates Court for 11 years.
Since she moved to Otley with husband John in 1968, she has also volunteered for a number of other community activities.
