The new Mayor of Calderdale, Chris Pillai, has taken the chain of office at a special ceremony at historic Halifax Minster today.
A need for more space to make the Mayor-making and Annual Council event COVID-safe because of the ongoing pandemic has meant a switch from the traditional Halifax Town Hall council chamber to another of the town’s splendid buildings, Halifax Minster, which dates back more than 900 years.
