Message from the Mayor

With the aim of giving our community another way to connect with Council, this month we launch "Councillor Catch Up". It's a new regular event which is all about our Councillors getting out and about in our region to have an informal chat with you. We'd like you to come along and share your ideas, or talk about issues and concerns with us while enjoying a cuppa or a cold drink.
