To receive communications from the Mayor.
Minutes:
40.1 The Mayor stated that he wished to hold a minute’s silence to remember those women who had suffered from violence and as a mark of respect for the death of Sir David Amess MP.
40.2 The Mayor then gave the following communications:
The Mayor noted that following the Notice of Motion relating to the Mary Clarke statue, he had been asked to accept the lamp that was sitting on his desk which was lit to mark the way for those who were suffering from violence. He also noted that councillors had been asked to wear an orange ribbon to show their support for the campaign against violence against women and girls.
The Mayor noted that the Service of Compassion took place on Sunday and for those of you who could not attend, it was available to watch on You Tube. The Service was organised by the Interfaith Contact Group.
The Annual Civic Advent Service was being held on the 28 November at St Nicholas Church. All Councillors are welcome to attend, and should contact the Mayor’s Office to let officers know whether you will be there, by the 15 November.
The Mayor then noted a couple of events that he wished to draw Members’ attention to:
Actually Gay Men’s Chorus 7 December
The original version of Miracle on 34th Street 10 December
Both events were in aid of the Mayor’s charities and both events were taking place at All Saints Church in Hove.
The Mayor stated that he had been made aware of a revision to Item 56 the Notice of Motion on Protect Residents This Winter. He was happy to accept the revision which was to ensure that the correct information was stated.
The Mayor noted that he had been informed by the petitioner for Item 41 that they were unable to join the meeting until 5.00pm due to work commitments and would therefore take Item 42 Public Questions ahead of this item.
Finally, the Mayor stated that he intended to take regular short breaks during the meeting, in order to give everyone in the chamber an opportunity to get some fresh air and remove their masks.
