CLLR John Saull called his year as Town Mayor a “pleasure and a privilege” when he handed over the mayoral chain to his successor, Cllr Liz Bennett, at last month’s mayor making.

John chose two local charities to benefit from his term as East Grinstead’s first citizen, St Catherine’s hospice and The Guinea Pig Club, each of which received cheques for £2,250.
