Tonight is the full meeting of the Council. I will be speaking on the administration’s policy item whci is about improving recycling rates.

The courier service delivers committee papers including agenda’s and minutes and any other post that comes directly to the Town Hall to councillors home addresses. At the last council meeting I asked about the cost and [...]
Tonight’s Council meeting decended into farce. The Tories elected the new leader of the Council Lynn Hillan.
