The Mayor reported that he had attended a wide variety of events since the last Council meeting, including a birthday party for the borough’s oldest resident, Ethel, who was celebrating her 109th birthday. He also expressed his thanks to the Council’s Housing & Homelessness Manager for the support provided in a recent case concerning a young homeless man.
The Council was informed of the Mayor’s plans to mark the centenary of the end of World War I by travelling to northern France to lay a wreath on the grave of a borough resident, chosen at random, who had lost their life in the War. The Mayors of the Borough’s Twin Towns would be invited to join him for this occasion.
The Mayor thanked everyone who had sponsored the Mayoress for her recent skydive, which she had undertaken in aid of his charity.
