Bernard Wagner

While we were with the mayor, News Five asked about three councillors, who have all thrown their hats in the race for a seat in central government. Allan Pollard is running in the Queen Square Division, Oscar Arnold in Collet and Doctor Candice Pitts in Mesopotamia. And with municipal elections to be held five months later, in March 2021, Mayor Bernard Wagner says that they are rebuilding.
