NEW Henley Mayor Lorraine Hillier is just 5ft so perhaps finds it harder than someone taller to be suitably imposing.

So what’s her secret? All was revealed at a meeting of the Townlands Steering Group last week as members voted on whether to re-elect Ian Reissmann as chairman.

Cllr Hillier stood in as chairman until the result was known and then a successful Cllr Reissmann took back the chair to reveal that the Mayor had been boosted by two cushions which he unceremoniously removed. Whatever happened to gallantry?
