MAYOR’S REPORT – September 17th 2024

“I attended a meeting on 21st August to discuss the establishment of a
banking hub in Burnham, which will be discussed later in the agenda.
On 23rd August, I was invited to open the new Weston Hospice Care
Shop in Burnham High St.. A great deal of hard work was undertaken
to ensure the shop was ready to open on time. The charity supports
those living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses and their
families throughout the local area, including Burnham and Highbridge.
I was pleased to meet with some of their trustees and fund raising staff
both before and after this event to learn of all the valuable work they
undertake in our area.
The Emergency Services Day was held on 25th August and I was very
pleased to be invited to attend. It was a tremendous display of all the
emergency services that work so hard to keep us safe and respond to
us in our times of greatest need. Many of these organisations rely on
volunteers and we are very fortunate to have so many people who are
willing to give freely of their time and skills to help us. Congratulations
to all those who organised a wonderful day for all those who visited and
thank you to all volunteers.
On 3rd September Deputy Mayor and I attended one of the regular
Morland Estate Walk About. This was a good opportunity to speak to
residents and discuss their concerns and I would like to encourage
other councillors, particularly those for Highbridge, to attend these
walkabouts if they can.
Finally, I attended the BARB AGM on 4th September, to hear of the
activities they have undertaken over the past year, the incidents they
have attended and their plans for next year. Again, an enormous
amount of work is done by this organisation”
