West Oxfordshire District Council cabinet member Louise Chapman fitted three performances of Snow White and the Seven Drawfs and a council meeting into one day.

The hectic schedule left Mrs Chapman, with no time to change, so she went straight from the performance at North Leigh Memorial Hall to the cabinet meeting in Witney dressed as Grumpy.

Parents and staff at North Leigh Pre-School have staged a pantomime for the past few years to raise money.

Mrs Chapman's husband Martin, who is a district councillor, also took part in the panto as a fashion designer to the Queen.

One performance was held in the morning for all the children at the school.

This was followed by an afternoon show and one in the evening.

Mrs Chapman said: "It's all a bit of fun. I did warn my colleagues at the council I'd be coming along in my pantomime costume as there would be no time to change."
