THE mayor and mayoress of Pershore joined Pershore youth councillors past and present for the un-official unveiling of the town’s new bandstand this week.
Councillor Chris Parsons met up with former youth mayor, Alec Smith, current youth council member, Rob Ireland, and the town clerk, Ann Dobbins, in Abbey Park in preparation for the official Grand Opening at 2.30pm on Sunday.
Coun Parsons said: “I’m extremely pleased that with the hard work of the youth council, and the town clerk, and the cooperation of the parks officer at Wychavon District Council, Lynn Stevens, that we have managed to achieve this multi-use facility.
“I hope it will be put to good use and there are already plans afoot for regular band concerts throughout the summer next year.
“Meanwhile, everyone would be most welcome for the official opening on Sunday.”
