Thank you...

A very short blog this week ahead of the Christmas and new year holidays.

I would like to say thank you to you all for your hard work, commitment and the passion you show to the work and challenges that we have faced this year. Together we have achieved a great deal, taken some tough decisions and established a positive starting point for the new council and delivery of the new business plan.  

For those of you working over the holiday period – thank you. I am on call December 27-30 so we may be in touch but hopefully not!

Speak soon and enjoy your Christmas and new year with your families and friends.

One of the highlights of my local government career

Last Friday evening was one of the highlights of my local government career – playing Santa with Carolyn at the fostering and adoption Christmas party in Devizes. I have to admit to being pretty nervous beforehand, but thanks to all of our wonderful staff who put in so much effort to make the evening go with a swing, and the look of pure fun and enjoyment on the faces of 120+ children, the evening really rocked.
