Kingshurst councillor picked as Solihull's next Mayor

A COUNCILLOR for Kingshurst & Fordbridge is set to become the next Mayor of Solihull.

Councillor Flo Nash, who is the only Labour member of the borough council, will take the chains of office which her husband Alan, a former councillor in the same ward, had previously worn more than a decade ago.

Coun Nash, from Chelmsley Wood, will take over the role when the new municipal year begins in May. Her main duties will include attending engagements around Solihull and chairing Full Council meetings over the course of 12 months.
