Bideford Bideford Freemasons Lions www.northdevonprint.co.uk Bideford Town Council 1 5 It was a gre at honour to be electe d Mayor by my fellow councillo rs and I very soon foun d out what Aa Mpr ivailyegoe r iat lis n r oeptr e sent ing Bi def ord in t he ne ighb our ing town s in Devon and Co rnw all . The Mayoress and I have alrea dy attended civic events in South Mo lton, Bu de, Northam a nd Barnsta ple and will so on be attending events in Great To rring ton , Lynmouth an d Filleig h. Civic events in other towns allow Louise and I th e op portunity to meet the other mayors a nd importantly explore how we can work together for the bene fit of our communities. A good example of th is is how th e mayors and councillors joine d forces with the “Save Ou r Hosp ital Services” campa ign to p rotect essen tial services at No rt h Devon District Hospital. Louise an d I have taken part in both of tnhd e p rotest meetings so far and we wi ll b e at t he demons tration “ Paint in g t he T own Red” on the 22 of Oc tober . Apart from civic e ngagements we h ave a ttended a wi de variety of commun ity even ts including the Leavers' Day at East the Water School, the Raising of the Armed Forces Flag, Prize Day at King sley Schoo l, North Devon Display Gymnasti cs competition, North Devon Veter ans Ar med Forces Day, g reeting the arrival in B ideford of the MV Balmoral and took pa rt in the celebration s of 40 y ears of twinnin g with Land ivisiau, We were also part of th e larg e and t h enthusiastic team a t the re cent “Sp ruce Up B ideford Day” a nd we wi ll b e at t he next one on the 16 of Oc tobe r. A v ery special event for L ouise t h and I was wishing a happ y birthday to the delightfu l and very sharp Miss P henie Ta ylor on her 100 birthday. As a result of the District and County co uncils re ducing or d rop ping services the Council has had to change th e way it app roa ches its role a nd respo nsibi lities. A good example of this was at the last full council mee ting whe n it wa s agreed to recruit two mainten ance personnel and the equipment that they will need so th at they ca n tak e on more of the work th at the other councils see a s unaffordable. I am proud to be part of wh at is a progressive , fo rward thinking and flexible Coun cil that is keeping the ne eds o f t he comm un ity a t t he fore front of all that it does. nd Finally ple ase , please put the 2 2 of Oc tobe r in your diaries a nd ask eve ryone that you know to d o the s ame and to we ar s omethin g red on the day to show th e depth of fe eling aga inst cuts at North Devon Ho spit al.
