HARTFORD High School pupil Daniel Lewis, 14, has been named consort to Northwich mayor Cllr Helen Burder for her 12-month tenure in office.

The selection event took place at the Venue@Connexions in Rudheath where the candidates met the mayor and took part in group activities and talks to demonstrate their suitability for the role.

The mayor and the candidates themselves were all then asked to vote – and Daniel was the unanimous winner!

Officially unveiled at the full Northwich Town Council meeting on Monday night, he said: “It’s a big honour.”
