Two new town criers for Looe
Looe has two new town criers. Julie Gregory and Spencer Melia have been appointed to the role, and it marks a first for the town. Looe will now be represented by both a male and a female town crier.
Looe Town Council described the appointments as an exciting new chapter in one of the town’s oldest civic traditions.
Chosen after auditions
Julie and Spencer were picked following an application and audition process. Between them they will represent Looe at civic events, community celebrations, commemorations and other special occasions throughout the year.
The council also thanked everyone who applied and expressed an interest in the role.
