Barnoldswick Liberal Democrat councillor, Cllr Marjorie Adams, has become the latest Mayor to break with convention and opt for a secular celebration instead of the traditional church service that is part of the traditional ceremony in Pendle. She has also declined to appoint a religious chaplain. LDHS congratulates the Mayor of Pendle for the principled position she has taken and hopes it will encourage other civic office holders to follow her example.
