Goodbye

Just to say, if you haven't noticed, that I stood down as Mayor on 20 May 2015 and handed the reins back to Karl Boggis.

This was because Tony Hodgins, my deputy, failed to retain his seat at the last election on 7 May 2015. Karl kindly agreed to step in at the last moment.

To be truthful, I am relieved not be mayor any longer. With full time work and a young family, it was a bit much. But I am glad that I did it.

Thanks to everyone who invited me to their events. It was a privilege to meet you.
