Announcement by the Mayor
I’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and I hope that 2015 is a good year for everyone.
We will be losing two members of staff, I wish Lara all the very best. Jane Eason has been a help to many of us in a variety of different ways. I hope she enjoys her new role with the fire service.
A long standing ex Councillor Chippie Lees is unwell and in Sunningdale Nursing Home.
