In order to save money the City Council decided to send away the Mayor’s guarding officer and have a copy of the chain made for the Mayor.

Others say that making a copy of the chain for the mayor is necessary “in order to keep up traditions”, (3) .
According to a recent survey more than 80 per cent of people think (4). They believe the council should not spend money on things the city cannot afford.
The Mayor told councillors the cuts were sad but necessary. She believes that for future mayors life at the Town Hall will not be quite the same, which is very, very sad – (5)" ".
The council’s savings package means they also have to find other ways to arrange travel for the Mayor now that the city no longer has its own car.
