He says they are discussing with Councils  possible transfers of assets that may come out of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), and also the beginning of a management plan for Goodyer  Meadows.

He praises the decision not to postpone the local  elections, though he says his own ambitions are five to ten years away!

He speaks of his own family life and his full time job working in IT in the NHS and enjoyed attending the Panto with his daughter

He also dangles a trailer for his final meeting , “May the 4th be with you” being his clue. And he had his portrait done by local artists Sheryl Pape.
