Since the begining of May I have seen the end of a very hectic election period closing with 6 new Councillors added to the ruling group of Wigan Council and my colleague in Atherleigh , Cllr Mark Aldred was re-elected.
I was re-appointed to the porfolio of Children and Young People and am a member of a smaller Cabinet.
We saw the instalment of a new Mayor,, Joy Birch and Deputy, Mayor Myra Whitesid,e and the day was very nice. The mayor and her deputy seemed to really enjoy the civic occasion.
I have attendedtwo of the three consultation sessions about the new North Leigh Development and have noted local people's concerns.
I am doing regular street surgeries with the Police and they are proving to be a good interface with the residents. The regular Westwell Street Surgery in Westleigh and the one at the Scout HQ happens once per month but are not well used by the community.
I am hoping that residents may stary to ask when ewill we go to their area - the two hour sessions are good interfaces with the local people and gives them the opportunity to talk to Ward Councillors and the police on their patch.
