Posted on 21 May 2008 by Contributor
The new Lord Mayor of Leicester Cllr Manjula Sood has begun her historic term of office.
Cllr Sood is the first Asian woman in the country to take on the role of Lord Mayor.
“Its a great honour for me to represent the city”, she said. “This will be an historic time for Leicester in many ways, and I am really looking forward to doing all I can to promote whats going on here across the world”.
“I am also very pleased to announce that through my appeal I will be supporting the 2009 Special Olympic Games which Leicester will be hosting next July”.
“The Special Olympics raise awareness of the capabilities of people with learning disabilities, and give all those who take part the opportunity to achieve amazing things. They encourage and inspire everyone who is involved in them, and it is my aim to get every citizen involved in the Leicester games in some way”.
