Full Council

Unfortunately I missed an engagement for the first time due to ill health on Saturday 27 January. I was due to attend the Newbury Society's Cheese and Wine evening at St Nic's church hall, but I was suffering from an extremely heavy cold, and was very grateful to my Deputy, Adrian Edwards, for stepping in at short notice.

Fortunately I was just about well enough to chair the meeting of Full Council on Monday 29 January. This is one of the year's most important meetings because we set the budget and precept for the coming municipal year. Happily the budget was below the level of inflation, and the meeting ended by 9.30pm, so I didn't have a late night!
