They will answer the Roll Call when they meet at 9:30 this morning.

Last Council meeting in 2023: Usually an occasion to send season greetings to those watching – not this year. Just seven glum faces.

Hopefully they will be less grumpy than they appeared when they held their last Council meeting for 2023 on December 14th, 2023.

The new agenda set up will be revealed; Councillors will meet  as a Committee of the Whole with the Mayor in the Chair.  She will hear reports from each of the Standing Committees.  It seemed a little awkward when set out on paper – but let’s see how it works out.

The Gazette will be there watching on your behalf.

Dania Thurman with ward 2 Councillor Lisa Kearns: joined at the hip?

We are also watching for a response from the Communications people is as to just who is the Administrative Assistant for ward 2 Councillor Lisa Kearns.

Dania Thurman announced via social media that she was delighted to be the new Administrate Assistant.  Those announcements are usually made by the ward Councillor.  So far nothing from Kearns.

Strange!
