Mayor looking to experienced colleagues for help
11:38am Thursday 15th May 2008
MAYOR of Maldon David Denyer is looking for help to do the best he can for the town.
The recently elected mayor, who posed for the Standard in all his regalia, is looking forward to the role but wants to use the experience and expertise of past mayors to help.
He said: "I have a lot of hard work to do and I will be looking for support from some of the previous mayors."
And one former mayor, Sharon Riesebeck, said: "You've got it David, whenever you want it."
His first official role was as chairman of the annual general meeting of Maldon's twinning association, held on Wednesday May 14, just two days into the role.

Rising cost of fuel is hitting farmers hard
Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling have finally scrapped October’s planned 2p rise in fuel duty, but that will not sort out the current high prices – especially as that duty increase will probably hit next April. In the last of our features on Facing the Fuel Crisis, the Gazette looks at the problems facing Essex’s farmers – and why two of our biggest supermarkets are not feeling the pinch. Essex's wheatfields might not be on the same scale as Kansas, but they still take up nearly 250,000 acres.

4:39pm Thu 15 May 08
Only in Maldon could we have a new Mayor who admits he's not up to the task he's put him self forward for and is asking for help from the last lot of cronies within a week.
Priceless, that'll keep me smiling all week. :-)
