Current Mayor
Becky Wall
Becky made Shrewsbury her home in 1999 moving here from Leeds. Married to Tim, they have a 15 year old son, Joshua and along with Becky’s mum and sister they are looking forward to supporting Becky as a family during her Mayoral Year.
For 14 years Becky worked at the Royal Mail before moving into Care, firstly with care in the community, then into care homes and finally into the NHS working at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital which she enjoys immensely.
Becky has a huge passion for good causes, helping and supporting the residents of Shrewsbury, and in particular the residents in her constituency in Battlefield. And she will continue this in her Mayoral Year with helping and supporting the residents of Shrewsbury Town.
Becky is also a huge fundraiser and has been involved with charities since 2001. She has to date raised £86,500 for local charities including Severn Hospice, Hope House, SSAFA, Dogs Trust and many others.
For her Mayoral Year Becky has chosen two categories – Diabetes UK and Guide Dogs for the Blind. Both Charities being close to her heart as having diabetes herself she almost became blind.
Becky can be best described as resilient, determined and caring.
She wants her Mayoral year to be about care in the community and particularly accessibility around the Town for the disabled. She has unfortunately recently found herself being a wheelchair user and has experienced first-hand the difficulties of getting around the Town in a Wheelchair. She wants to change this and will work hard to make getting around Shrewsbury Town Centre a lot easier for the disabled and infirmed.
Becky is very much looking forward to her year as Mayor and will work hard for the residents of Shrewsbury and her nominated Charities.
