May is the time we have the council’s annual general meeting (AGM), followed by the ceremonial council where the new Lord Mayor and their deputy get sworn in on the next day. It always pleasantly surprises me how councillors rise to the challenge of carrying the Mayor’s duties, much of it as ambassador for the council out & about the people.
In May I also attended some of the ‘regulars’, such as Local Policing – still proving to be a great way of keeping in touch, and working with the police – the management team who run the Phoenix Centre who provide such a useful service to the community, and the Equality group who look at ensuring the council carries out its duties in an even handed manner.
Then, like buses, no elections for ages then two come along! Of course the one for the next regional Police Commissioner had been planned for some time, but the General Election came out of the blue as a snap decision by the then Prime Minister. Early days for both so we will have to wait and see how they pan out.
