What a busy month it has been with lots of people taking time to drop in to one of our Saturday sessions or simply chatting to one of our members. Thank you to everyone for engaging with us.

Residents also told us that they were not satisfied with the Council’s leadership, and they rated our financial management very poorly. They did not think that the Mayor or Councillors were giving them a “fair hearing”. The straightforward message in May 2022 was our residents did not trust us.
Residents continue to be highly satisfied with the facilities provided by the Council such as:
