WITNEY'S mayor is recovering from a major operation at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford.
Clive Knowles had surgery for fused vertebrae in his back on Friday and is likely to be out of action for six weeks.
His mayoral duties will be performed in the meantime by deputy Lesley Semaine, publican and chairman of the town's Chamber of Trade.
Town clerk Judy White said on Monday, October 7: "He has been in pain for some time, but still carried out his mayoral duties."
