The Lord Mayor

This is the homepage of Councillor Graham Oxley, the Lord Mayor of Sheffield 2009 - 2010.

This site will be an important link during my year of office, and I hope that it will also serve as an information resource about the Lord Mayor's Office.

 

I would like to draw your attention to two Appeals, for which I would appreciate your support.

 

 

During my year of office I have received many requests for a City Centre War Memorial dedicated to service personnel who have been killed since World War II.  The Right Honourable David Blunkett MP also received requests for a Memorial in Shiregreen Cemetery dedicated to those service personnel who are laid to rest in that cemetery.

 

We launched a joint appeal for funds to provide these Memorials on 7th January 2010, with the blessing of the Sheffield and District Joint Council of Ex-Service Associations.

 

Contributions will be gratefully received and may be sent to the Lord Mayor’s Office made payable to the “Sheffield War Memorial Fund”.

 

 

Mr Dowse of Dowse & Son is to hold a Charity Auction in early May 2010 in aid of the Lord Mayor’s Charities (Weston Park Hospital and Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice).

 

Donations of antiques, collectables, jewellery, clocks and framed pictures would be much appreciated for entry into the Auction.

 

Donated items may be handed in to the Lord Mayor’s Office up to 23 April 2010.  (It may be possible to collect some donations if they cannot be delivered to the Town Hall).
