The former mayor of Marlow looks set to be appointed as vice-chairman of Wycombe District Council, despite only being a member of the district council for a year.

Conservative Cllr Suzanne Brown is set to serve as Cllr Mahboob Hussain’s deputy which will be officially confirmed at the annual council meeting on Tuesday after being given the nod at private meetings.

If normal protocol continues, Cllr Brown would be expected to take up the role of chairman next year.
