Civic Procession and a New Lib Dem Mayor for Guildford

I have been proud to attend several civic events in Guildford over the past couple of weeks, including taking part in the Civic Procession to welcome the new Mayor of Guildford ahead of Sunday’s annual Civic Service. 

The service marked the beginning of the mayoral year for Cllr Jane Tyson. 

Importantly, I joined fellow civic, faith and community leaders to reflect on how we can continue to build safe, inclusive communities – where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their faith or beliefs. 

We stand firmly alongside people of all faiths and none, and we reaffirm our commitment to working with residents, partners and community organisations to promote understanding, cohesion and safety.

As part of this, we came together to make a shared pledge against hate crime.
