Template:15 January

15th January 1973: Councillor Alf Roberts is chosen as the new Mayor of Weatherfield, over candidate Len Fairclough. Len takes his defeat well and toasts Alf at a gathering of Alf's friends in the Rovers. Alf chooses Len as his Deputy Mayor and asks Maggie Clegg to be Mayoress, although she refuses the position out of fear that she will let Alf down. Alf then offers the position to Rovers landlady Annie Walker, who has already convinced herself that she would be ideal for the job and who eagerly accepts.
