Stevenage Mayor

On Friday we held our official opening with Stevenage Mayor Councillor Sandra Barr @Sandie_B @StevenageMayor @SharonStevenage

The Mayor Sandra Barr, Mayoress Louisa Barr and SBC leader, Sharon Taylor were invited to @WoolenwickJ school in Symonds Green. The Mayor cut the ribbon on new playground equipment, designed by pupils and funded by an HCC grant and fundraising by staff and friends of the school.

The Mayor of Stevenage, Cllr Sandra Barr and her daughter the Mayoress, Louisa Barr, visited Fairlands Nursery. She read a story, and met the school chickens, which the children have seen hatch and grow from chicks. She'll be back next month for the school raffle.

This Sunday (13 June) at 11am we are hosting a virtual Stevenage Day. Opened by the Mayor and showcasing stallholders and performances from local talent. View it on our Facebook and YouTube. fb.watch/61GJ3vTHF7/ via @FacebookWatch

Happy Saint George's Day everyone. Here's a special message from the mayor, Cllr Jim Brown.

A happy Saint Patrick's Day from Mayor of Stevenage, Jim Brown. youtu.be/Eih6nr4FpIM

Huge thanks to all the staff at the Roebuck Surgery. I've now had my first COVID-19 jab. It didn't hurt a bit. I'm as right as rain and they even gave me a sticker for being a brave boy. Please have one so that you can protect yourself and others. #GetVaccinated

Today (Wednesday 27 January) we will mark Holocaust Memorial Day virtually at 11am, to remember all those who died in genocides across the world. More info here: stevenage.gov.uk/news-and-event…

Visit as many as you like, maybe take a selfie and make a donation via uk.virginmoneygiving.com/JimBrown20 or send it to Tracey Frost at Stevenage Borough Council, Daneshill House, Danestrete, Stevenage, SG1 1 HN.

Thanks to Cycling UK Stevenage there's now a route linking up all the Xmas postboxes in the town. Cycle, run or walk. It’s 30k but you don’t have to do all at once. The initiative by #StevenageChristmasKnitters and #StevenagePostboxes raises cash for the Mayor’s charities.

A big thank you to @AsheLtd - who are working on our town centre's regeneration - for the £2,000 donation to Stevenage Helps 🙌 The money will go towards food for our hub and Christmas hampers for families in need, who we've worked with local schools to identify.

Thanks to all those who took part in the Mayor’s Christmas Card Competition, which received over 60 entries. There were four finalists, and two winners - David Karateodorov Bohn (L) and Jessica Yi (R). They will receive a copy of their card, a certificate and a £25 Gift Card

In an effort to raise money for his chosen charities, the mayor ran a half-marathon route around Stevenage on Sunday (1 Nov). Also running were Liz Smith, Wendy Tharani and Nicola Andersson. Why not reward them for their efforts by donating here? - tinyurl.com/y4kcy7ws.

With events cancelled it has been hard to help my charities - Stevenage Community Trust, Haven First and Sport Stevenage - this year. I've launched a fundraising page tinyurl.com/y4kcy7ws, but we're a long way off target. These are hard times but please back these great causes

Take a look at some of our new street and festoon lighting - the Town Square and North Block projects are making great progress 💪
