Richard Cox OA, Woodard 1968 elected Deputy Mayor

We were thrilled to hear that our OA Richard Cox has been elected as Deputy Mayor of Penarth.

Richard shared the exciting news that on Friday 22 May he was appointed to the role, representing his dedication and commitment to his community.

Whilst communicating his fantastic news with us, Richard remembered that the Headmaster’s wife, Mrs Unmack, was appointed as the Mayor of Taunton whilst he was here - a lovely full circle moment.

Richard would love to hear from any OAs living in, or visiting, Penarth. If you would like to get in contact with Richard, please send us an email at development@kings-taunton.co.uk and we will pass on your details.
