UTTLESFORD Citizens Advice Bureau has this week announced that actor Steve McGann will join the board as a charity supporter.

Mr McGann, who is a long-term resident of Saffron Walden, said: “I’m delighted to be supporting the local Citizens Advice Bureau. I’ve heard so many stories of how they’ve helped people out of tricky situations.

“I hope that I can help raise awareness of this vital free service.”
