Introducing Marlborough's new Town Cryer!

We have a fabulous new Town Cryer!  Let us introduce you to Mr Michael Tupman, MBE.   He’s Marlborough’s well-loved and much respected former Special Constable.  At a short ceremony on Monday, 7^th March, he was welcomed as a member of our Civic Team by the Town Mayor, Councillor Margaret Rose.   Alfie Johnson, who held the post for 21 years until he retired in 2015 officially relinquished the role and handed over the bell to his successor.  We are delighted to have appointed someone who is perfect for the role - a wonderful voice, real authority and a bit of a performer who will fit in perfectly with our Macebearers, Bob Dobie, Barry Mercer and Geoffrey Snelgrove.  Read more.

Youth Council Clean for the Queen

Big well done to members of Marlborough Youth Council who turned out on a cold Saturday morning to litter pick as part of the Clean for the Queen campaign. Led by Cllr Lisa Farrell and supported by the Mayor, they worked up and down the High Street, the Rec at Salisbury Road and right up to Tesco collecting loads of rubbish. Lots of good feedback and appreciation from the public too. Your Majesty - Marlborough’s young people are among the very best.
