Mayor's Announcements

Minutes:

The Mayor reported on activities she had undertaken since her election. She had attended the Council‘s Fly the Flag for Armed Forces event on 22 June 2020, a thank you party for Surrey Heath Prepared, and a virtual meeting with the Surrey Mayors, the Lord Lieutenant of Surrey, the High Sherriff and the under Sherriff of Surrey, and the Young Mayor for Surrey.

 

The Mayor informed the Council that she had attended a virtual day at Ascot Races, raising money for her charities.

 

Since her election, the Mayor had produced three short videos, two of which had been to thank volunteers and the third to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D Day landings. The videos had been subtitled, which reflected that the Mayor’s Charities were raising awareness of the difficulties for those with a hearing loss. The Council was informed that the Mayor hoped to see using subtitles become standard policy for videos produced by the Council or by individual councillors.
