A MAYOR who came a cropper after offering her services as a charwoman during a charity auction has completed her Mrs Mop duties.

Councillor Linda Maddison, Mayor of Sedgefield, County Durham, offered to do two hours cleaning as a prize in the auction at the village's Proms in the Park event earlier this summer.

But just before going back on the stage to deliver the closing speech, Coun Maddison slipped on the wet grass and suffered two broken bones in her foot and a twisted ankle.

The injury put her on crutches for several weeks, and delayed the completion of her offer.

Now well on her way to recovery, Coun Maddison has fulfilled her domestic duties, which has brought in £105 for her two chosen charities.
