Training begins

The Council arranges many training events for elected members, especially the new ones. Yesterday it was an introduction to the Chief Executive's Department. I would have liked to know more about the dynamics of this Department: especially the way the Policy Unit operates, but no doubt I'll find out about that in due course. There's certainly no shortage of training opportunities!
This evening we had an excellent presentation about the history and future of economic development within the Borough. It contained some information I hadn't heard before and explained clearly how the plans for developing various projects around the Borough came about, and had lots of interesting aerial photos.
