The new Dalton Mayor joined former Prime Minister Theresa May and other prominent figures for the Raising of the Flag Ceremony for Armed Forces week. 

Councillor Nick Perie visited the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and represented Dalton as he compared notes with the Mayor of Windsor Cllr Neil Knowles. 

Mayor Perie said: "Whilst there I presented the Mayor with a Dalton Past and Present book, Map of Dalton and copies of the Town Hall by Sharon Wendy Tait, which were received with much interest - especially the town hall drawings.

"The Mayor, having spent time near Preston, had heard of our town and made me promise to be available if he visited in the future - I didn't need many seconds to reply of course.

"What a nice man, a really interesting character who was good craic and had some great stories and I felt at ease straight away. We shared some info about both towns and our experiences as Mayor.

"I cannot thank him enough for the invite and his hospitality."

The Dalton Mayor hopes to meet up with Cllr Knowles again later in the year.
