TWITTER users who want something closer to home on their timelines than Paris Hilton’s shoe updates can now follow Bromley’s mayor.

Councillor David McBride will be tweeting about the appearances he will be making in his role as the mayor in the next year, with the deputy mayor, to support the community.

He will also be tweeting about fundraising work for various charitable causes, including his chosen charity, Biggin Hill Battle of Britain Trust.

Cllr McBride, said: “With more and more of us using Twitter for commentary and information I think it is a powerful way of telling people what’s coming up during these next twelve months.” “It is a great way of getting feedback from residents about the work of our mayoral office.”

Elected last month (May), the mayor gives his support to Bromley’s voluntary groups, youth groups and the business community at a host of activities and functions, as well as visiting and supporting schools.
