Mayor of Harpenden Councillor Mary Maynard had a hot date at Café Jeera in the town on Monday when she hosted a charity dinner.

The event raised more than £500 for her two chosen charities for the year, Community Meeting Point Harpenden and Home-Start St Albans City and District.

Councillor Maynard said: "We had a most enjoyable evening. Thank you to everyone that supported my event."

The event had been a sell out early on and the mayor was delighted with the great response.
