Banbury Mayor Cllr Shaida Hussain takes office at a traditional mayor-making ceremony at the town hall on Tuesday.
Cllr Hussain represents Grimsbury Ward on Banbury Town Council and first became a councillor in 2012. She was born in Banbury and has lived in the town all her life.
Cllr Hussain plans to establish a bond with young people.
She said:
“I work in a school and in my mayoral year I’d like to encourage the town’s children to take part in a variety of activities.”
Cllr Hussain added:
“My family came to Banbury around 40 years ago and my dad Charlie, who was a big influence on me, worked at Fine Lady Bakeries for more than 30 years before he passed away.
“I like reading, trying to get fit – but with mixed results so far, and I enjoy watching motorsport and socialising with my friends.
“My consort is my cousin Smyra Saleem who moved to Banbury from Sheffield five years ago and loves it here.”
Cllr Hussain took over the mayoral role from Cllr Colin Clarke who handed over the chain of honour and the mayoral robes before wishing Cllr Hussain an enjoyable and successful year.
