Last night saw the last full council meeting of the municipal year. There was not a huge amount of debate, but we said farewell to a number of members who are retiring. In doing so partisanship was suspended. It is a good reminder that there is often a lot more that unites Councillors of all parties (and of none) than divides us and that despite the public's current poor perception of politicians, I believe that the vast majority of us are involved in politics because we hope we can make a positive difference to peoples lives, no matter how small.
So come next Thursday I hope as many people as possible turn out and vote (for what ever party)
