Chairperson's Announcements
Minutes:
The Chairperson advised that under Procedure Rule 4(8)3 the requirement to stand in the chamber would be optional.
Members were informed of some Dementia Awareness information that was available in the Members’ Room.
The Chairperson advised how this year marked a significant milestone for Local Government as it celebrated 50 years since the reorganisation of Local Government in 1974. Since its inception the Council had been committed to serving residents and working closely with Town and Parish Councils. The Chairperson paid tribute to the many elected Councillors who had dedicated their time to represent the views of the community over the last 50 years and hoped the Council would continue to enable the community to flourish, for many years to come. Members were advised that arrangements were in hand to mark this 50th anniversary by planting 50 trees in the District later in the year.
