Mayor is charged with misconduct
The Mayor of Harpenden has been charged with misconduct in a public office.

John Chambers of Ridgewood Drive, Harpenden, Herts, was charged after an incident in November last year.

Mr Chambers, 67, who was first elected as a town councillor in 1999, will appear before Central Hertfordshire Magistrates Court on 9 February.

The married father-of-two served in the fire and ambulance services and has been presented with the Queen's Award for Long Service and Good Conduct.
