Councillors gathered at Granville Town Hall on Saturday 16 June 2018, to transfer the Mayoral Chains of the former Borough of Granville, from safekeeping by the City of Parramatta to pride of place in Cumberland Council.
The transfer took place after a procession up Russell Street, which recently underwent a $1.7 million upgrade as part of the Granville Streetscape Project, to the steps of Granville Town Hall.
“These beautiful works are part of our welcome to the residents of Granville,” Mayor Greg Cummings said.
“They honour in stone and wood the storied past of Granville and point to its bright future as part of Cumberland, so it is only fitting then that in receiving the Mayoral Chains we do so here.
“I would like to thank the Lord Mayor of Parramatta for the safekeeping of the Mayoral Chains. They will be well looked after.”
“The City of Parramatta took good care of the Granville mayor chains and I am delighted they are being handed over to Cumberland Council, where they rightly belong,” City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Andrew Wilson said.
