The Mayor referred to the following Mayoral engagements:
· Visiting a number of care homes across the borough that had recently gained their Dementia Care Framework Accreditation.
· Attending two events to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Mercian Regiment, including an excellent military display at their parade at Newstead Abbey.
· Welcoming primary school children from the borough to the town hall and giving them a tour of the Mayor’s parlour during Local Democracy Week, when the children learned about what the Council does, were able to choose their own Mayor for the day and take part in a real ballot.
The Mayor invited Members to join her and the Mayoress for drinks following the next full Council meeting in December, and to come in Christmas attire to support a collection for the Mayor’s Appeal.
