Lighter evenings, warmer temperatures and no real rain this
week. Feels like spring thank goodness. Might get my bike out at the weekend.
Yesterday we held the first by election for Wiltshire Council since the all out elections in May 2013. This was in the Ethandune division – the rural surround to Westbury. As you’ll know, I love the buzz of an election and it was a good event. We held the count last night after the polls closed at 10pm in the Heywood / Hawkeridge Village Hall. Five candidates attended with their agents and supporters. Turnout was good for a by election, at just over 37% which I was surprised with. The Conservative candidate won – Jerry Wickham with a majority of just over 100. I’d like to thank the whole election team and those who volunteered to count – another great job by a superb team.
On Wednesday we met with all the Heads of service to talk about a number of subjects including the importance of coaching in the work place. Did you know we have nearly 50 qualified/ trainee coaches in the council and more than 150 people so far have been or are being coached. This is excellent. I would never be without a coach, so if you think you could benefit with working with somebody to help you achieve your goals – work or personal, then please contact Amanda Collyer in HR. Or me.
Speak again soon. For daily updates, discussion, personal opinion, comment or just to connect or keep in touch you can follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/drcarltonbrand.
