Monday 25 October marked the beginning of the regulated period for electoral material, ahead of the upcoming local government elections on Saturday 4 December.
This means that the Mayor and Councillors can no longer communicate with you via council publications or platforms, so for the duration of this period, I will provide an overview for Council Happenings, in place of the Mayor.
During this time, we are not allowed to promote the achievements of council or provide any information that might influence anyone's voting preferences, so please bear that in mind when viewing Council Happenings.
