Vision Monmouth brings together a series of action based projects that are perceived to be deliverable in the medium term, which, together, will strengthen the presentation and viability of the town as a shopping and tourism destination, thereby improving the quality of life of those that live and work in the town and its hinterland. Vision Monmouth recognises that these ambitions need to be delivered through partnerships, involving and apportioning responsibility to those best placed to deliver, and ensuring that the collective skills, resources and knowledge of the town are employed to produce the most successful results. Vision Monmouth is not intended to be a strategic document but a summary of the key aspirations jointly held by partner organisations within the town. A vision of where the town could, and should, be in years to come.

APPENDIX 2: Councillors Meeting Attendance 8. APPENDIX 3: Financial Accounts 2020-21 1. WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR Dear Residents, It has been an incredibly difficult year for most of us but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that we have managed with a war-like effort and quickly adapted to the "new- normal" as a community and without hesitation. Through that process we have also formed new relationships and maybe a better way of doing things. For us as your Town Council, it has given us time to be introspective; we have considered all of our processes and procedures, our administrative model, our committee structures, and our longer term aims and ambitions when considering strategic partnerships. We want to be a more effective part of local government, delivering more and better outcomes and facilitating other local community groups to achieve their goals and ambitions. We are going digital in readiness for the next Council, with a keen eye on our environmental footprint and a much more holistic, joined-up approach to delivering services for all our residents. It is with great pride and admiration of all our residents in their fortitude that I have served you as your Mayor.

    DIXTON WITH OSBASTON LABOUR PARTY Vivien Mitchell – your Labour Candidate for Dixton with Osbaston LABOUR PLEDGES FOR MONMOUTHSHIRE ✔ We will protect local front line services. ✔ We will fight for better bus and rail services. ✔ We will support schools, children & teachers. ✔ We will tackle loneliness & isolation in our communities. ✔ We will improve roads, street lighting and pavements. VOTE LABOUR ON 4th MAY DIXTON WITH OSBASTON LABOUR PARTY VIVIEN MITCHELL Since retiring as an industrial consultant and financial adviser, I have devoted much of my time to ‘making Monmouth a better place in which to live, work and play’. This is the ethos of Monmouth Partnership Forum of which I have been a member since 2002. My main interest is the environment and I was a founder member of Transition Monmouth. This group’s activities are varied but currently my main project is flood prevention. Flooding affects everyone in Monmouth, but residents of Dixton/Osbaston and Wyesham in particular, and has become noticeably worse in the last 20 years. We need a plan to stop this! I believe that social justice, inclusivity and community engagement are key to a town’s success and I work with school children and older students, as well as numerous community groups. Also essential are our local producers and retailers. We must support our local businesses otherwise the town will die – young people will move away and our town centre will lose the wonderful independent shops. I was a member of Monmouth Town Council for two years and gained significant experience of working with Monmouthshire County Council.
