The Mayor of Wisbech will be taking part in a sponsored charity walk next month (August) wearing high heels around the route.
The ‘walk a mile in their shoes’ event, runs by the Ferry Project, in aid of domestic violence support.
Participants will walk a mile around Wisbech park on Sunday August 8 at 1:30pm in each other’s shoes to highlight their stance against domestic abuse.
Men will wear heeled shoes while women wear a trouser suit and tie with flat shoes.
The Mayor of Wisbech, Cllr Andrew Lynn, said: “I will be joining Keith Smith and others in walking a mile around Wisbech park.
“Please do support us if you’re there.
“No one should suffer this inhuman act.”

They will be spreading the message that domestic abuse will not be tolerated in Fenland.
All money raised will go towards a crisis fund, which can be accessed by local people fleeing domestic abuse.
