Talk at The Combe Down Mothers Union
On Wednesday 26th March, I was delighted to be invited to talk about my role as a local Councillor to the Mothers Union at Holy Trinity Church, Combe Down. There were between twenty and thirty women who attended, and I did my best to cover aspects of the role of a Councillor, what we do, the kind of diverse issues we are involved in, locally and BANES wide, the Committees I sit on, whether we are paid, how The Council Administration works, and other Bath and NE Somerset wide involvements. I explained that both Roger and I are also Charter Trustees of The City, supporting The office of the Mayor, because Combe Down is one of a number of Wards within the Bath City boundary.
There were a good number of questions, and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting this Group, and hearing about the many projects they support both here and worldwide.
It strikes me that the role of the local Councillor, and what they do, might not be that well known to everybody, certainly I did not know a great deal before embarking on the process a couple of years ago, and If you would like us to come and speak to your Combe Down Group or Society, do get in touch, by email, telephone, or leave a comment on this site.
