OTLEY’S former town mayor has presented £1,000 to the town’s cubs and scouts.

Councillor Mary Vickers (Lib Dem, Manor) made the Otley Parish Scouts and Cubs’ roof repair fund one of her 2018-2019 mayoral charities. Cllr Vickers, who handed over the chain of office to current Town Mayor Peter Jackson in May, joined the cubs and scouts on Otley Chevin last week for their AGM.

While there she presented the group with £1,000 that was raised during her mayoral year. The money will fund repairs to the Scout and Guide Hut on Burras Lane.
