THE retiring Mayor of Great Aycliffe, Councillor Sheila Mlatilik, raised more than £5,000 for charity during her year in office.
Coun Mlatilik, who handed over the chains of office to Councillor Michael Dalton this week, chose the District Nurses Trust Fund as her charity. She gave a cheque for £5,100 to representatives of the group at the annual meeting of Great Aycliffe Town Council.
She said: "I would like to thank councillors, members of the public, organisations on the town and council staff for their support."
