Ward 1 Councillor Kelvin Galbraith
Galbraith, who is known for his advocacy concerning constituent engagement and governance transparency, led the Horseshoe Circle in the vote which allows citizen delegates to be able to question Councillors on any or all matters before Council and extends the maximum delegation time limit to 15 minutes.
Mayor Meed Ward said that Councillor Galbraith’s approved amendments were an “eye opener”.

If only, if only …
