Posted on: 13th November 2022 | by Sue James | Posted in From the Mayor

Posted on: 20th September 2022 | by Sue James | Posted in From the Mayor

“Our Resilient, Creative and Independent Town of St Just”, came in as the headline to a piece in the press about our wonderful Town.

What About Mayor’s Sunday 2022?

Posted on: 2nd July 2022 | by Sue James | Posted in From the Mayor
