Having recently retired Cllr Thomas said now was the time for him to give back to the community.

Councillors thanked Cllr Jo Clark for all her hard work on the Council during her year of office. Cllr Clark was chair during an unprecedented period of Royal events with the Platinum Jubilee Beacon lighting in June which was sadly followed three months later by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Cllr Clark attended the Chantry Centre during the period of mourning, overseeing the book of condolence and talking to the many residents that came to sign the book.

Cllr Clark congratulated Cllr Thomas and wished him well in his role as Chairman of the Council.
