Freedom of the Borough

To consider extending the Freedom of the Borough accorded to HMS Torbay.

Minutes:

It was proposed by the Mayor and seconded by Councillor Mills:

 

that this Council, being appreciative of the significant defence role undertaken by HMS Torbay around the world and in recognition of its long association with the towns of Torbay, does offer the submarine and its crew Honorary Freedom of the Borough of Torbay.

 

On being put to the vote, the motion was declared carried (unanimous).

 

The Chairman announced that HMS Torbay was currently on active duty and therefore a formal presentation and procession would be held in early 2015.
