Heading - Merthyr Tydfil’s longest service Mayor hangs up his chains.

The article should have stated that Councillor Howard Barrett was the longest serving Mayor since Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council became the governing body and was first to serve two consecutive years in over 7 decades.

There had been two previously – N F Hankey 1916/18 and C Stanfield 1947/49.  Apologies for any misinformation.
