THE Mayor of Darlington has been presented with a traditional lamp outside his home.
Councillor Ron Lewis, who serves the Mowden ward, took over from Councillor Doris Jones last week.
It is not known when the tradition of presenting the mayor with a lamp began in Darlington. The tradition lapsed in 1996 when a sponsor could not be found but was revived last year.
