He is due to be elected at the traditional Mayor-making ceremony at York House on May 15, succeeding Cllr Bill Treble. Cllr Cranfield-Adams said: "I am delighted and honoured to be chosen as Mayor-Elect and I am determined that once again the Mayoralty will make a positive impact on local life by promoting the borough in every way possible and raising much-needed money for charity."
