Councillor Tony Owen of the Petts Wood and Knoll ward is also Bromley's Deputy Mayor. Here, in the full version of an interview first sampled in episode 12, Darren Weale and Zeenat Noorani interview Tony at length about his two stints as Deputy Mayor, and his life and career. Tony explains what a Deputy Mayor does, touches on cream teas, and on visits to locations including local Methodist churches. He talks about Petts Wood as a garden suburb, and being a councillor who has helped change national law. We cover planning, bridge, Tony's postbag as councillor, Emma Raducanu, Dina Asher-Smith and the turning on of the Petts Wood Christmas lights, Yes Minister, why it's crunch time for Bromley, and more.
