Rob Back's 70 mile run for his 70th birthday

Petersfied Town Council's Mayor, Councillor Jamie Matthews, talks to Mike Waddington about what's been happening in the community and within the Council, mainly the preparations for the Budget.

This will be set in January and already has pressures (like the National Insurance increase) but also how savings have been made in a new Grounds Maintenance contract, which started in October.

He also comments on Local Government Reorganisation and ABCD - Asset Based Community Development.

After Remembrance Sunday - the largest civic event in the Town - and Armistice Day, the Christmas lights are assembled for the 20 November switch on.
