New Hounslow mayor

Genevieve Hibbs, who has represented the Independent Community Group (ICG) in Isleworth since 2002, was elected on Tuesday evening.

She replaces Lib Dem councillor Andy Morgan-Watts, who attended 550 events over the last year and raised thousands of pounds for his three charities.

Cllr Hibbs spent 22 years in Isleworth but sold her home the day after being elected in 2002 and has since lived in Hayes.

The 73-year-old, who has never married, nominated Syon ward councillor Shirley Fisher as her deputy.

The new mayor will have her work cut out matching Andy Morgan-Watts 550 visits in his year. In this day and age of going green and the price of fuel going through the roof will she expect the council tax payer to pay for the Mayoral car to drive to a different borough to collect her?
