Today we speak with councillor Milkinder Jaspal, the Mayor of Wolverhampton, who discusses some fascinating facts about the city at his Parlour in the Civic Centre.

Boasting some of the best views of the city from its balcony garden, the Mayor's Parlour will be opening its doors on Saturday for the public to look around.

As part of Heritage Open Day, which sees venues that do not usually open to the public or charge to let people in welcome people for free, the council is offering an exclusive morning with the Mayor and the Mayor's Consort of the City of Wolverhampton.
