BROMLEY’S new mayor will be sitting pretty when he visits a primary school on one of his first official engagements.

Councillor David McBride will pose so pupils can sketch his portrait when he goes to Perry Hall Primary School in Orpington on Monday.

The visit will be one of his first official engagements in his new role, and he plans to give the youngsters an insight into life as mayor.

Teacher Jill Hughes said: “The pupils are very excited about the mayor’s visit, and it will be a great chance for them to find out more about what a mayor does and the council.”
