Mayor's Announcements

Minutes:

It was with deep regret the Mayor advised that the following had passed away:

 

Councillor Martin Ellis, the Member for the Pelenna Ward and former Councillor Olga Jones, the Member for the Sandfields West Ward.

 

As a mark of respect Council stood for a minute’s silence.

 

Following the minute’s silence the Leader of the Independent Group said a few words in relation to the courage and determination of Councillor Ellis to continue to represent his Ward and to contribute to the work of the Council, particularly in the services for children and young people. He would be greatly missed.

 

The Leader of the Council supported these sentiments and said that it had been a privilege to work alongside Councillor Ellis.
