THE new Mayor of Hereford will make her time in office a family affair.

Councillor Ursula Attfield, who is the city's 622nd mayor, has decided to share the duties of mayoress between her daughters Deborah Summerfield and Catherine Darcy.

Among Cllr Attfield's first official appointments will be a charity evening in aid of Acorns Children's Hospice and Hereford Intensive Care Unit. She will also be attending the 'Supporting Families at War' event organised by SSAFA and Hereford City Partnership.

Cllr Peter Evans was voted as deputy Mayor.
