However, she was personally glad to her her back as a fellow ward councillor.
4.4 The motion was supported by Councillors G. Theobald and J. Kitcat.
4.5 The Mayor put the motion to the vote.
4.6 The motion was carried.

She had enjoyed every moment and wished to thank the mayoral staff for their help and assistance and the officers for their support prior to and at the council meetings. She had been pleased to see the increased use by many groups of the Mayor’s Parlour and was grateful for all the invitations to the varied functions that she had attended during the year. She also wished to thank her family, the Deputy Mayor and her Chaplin for their support throughout her term of office.
