BALLY ME NA BOROUGH COUNCIL 2011
A Great Place to Be…
A message from the Mayor Councillor Maurice Mills
In my third term as Mayor, I can look back on a busy period of time, which has seen our Borough and Council make great progress on many fronts, and look forward to 2011 to continued progress.
The Reorganisation of Public Administration will likely now happen in 2015. In the meantime Ballymena, Larne and Carrickfergus Councils are continuing to collaborate to improve services, deliver efficiencies and prepare for the eventual amalgamations into the new Mid and East Antrim Council.
Council has made particular progress in its Community Relations work and I was particularly proud to receive in September on behalf of Council, a national award from APSE (Association of Public Service Excellence) marking the Councils excellence in respect of equality at an international level.
In these difficult economic times, I am happy to confirm that Council has this year commenced a review of its structures, expenditures, income and use of resources, to refocus its efforts to achieve more for less. At the same time it wishes to have a real and positive impact on the Quality of Life of the residents of the Borough.
I am acutely aware that we will have to address the imbalance between the public and private sectors to ensure sustainable economic prosperity. That is why during my term in office I have instituted a series of discussion forums, for key players in both the public and private sectors in the Borough to engage in dialogue. As a parent and grandparent, I want my offspring to be able to live and work in this Province long after I have departed this earth. It is therefore important to get all stakeholders to address this problem of balanced sustainable economic growth, for the sake of the present generation and those that follow, and put enterprise at the centre of economic strategy.
Looking forward to 2011, I do so positively. I am already looking forward to commencing our campaign for City Status, and am encouraged by the number of people who have already expressed their support for this initiative.
As a keen sportsperson, I am particularly thrilled to see Council’s continued investment in sport, especially at Ballymena Showgrounds and in the coming year, in Clough Village, with the commencement of a new football pitch, floodlit training area and changing pavilion.
Also on the horizon for the Borough are developments in the ‘green energy’ field, with Council leading a national pilot scheme on local district heating in Harryville, in partnership with Action Renewables, NI Housing Executive and GT Energy.
Finally, my sincere thanks to Mrs Anne Donaghy and all Council employees, and the many members of voluntary and community groups and organisations who in partnership with Council, are determined and committed to making Ballymena ‘A Great Place to be’.
I wish you God’s Blessing and a prosperous New Year to all!
Maurice Mills Mayor of Ballymena
