I went to the AGM of Warwick Town Council last night, which was a whole different affair to the one at Atherstone Town Council when I was a councillor. It was well attended, with the mayoral chain being the biggest thing I have ever seen. I am quite surprised that the mayor did not fall over or start literally speaking from the floor. Anyhow, some party political dribble from Cllr Michael Kinson marred the event, though the discourse that gave me most angst came from a county councillor, Marion Haywood. For she began to put gloss on the current re-organisation of Warwickshire County Council – something as an employee I do not feel able to go into in any detail. For while she was singing the praises of nine departments merged into six, there is a whole other side that I feel is wrong.
For the most part the good news is that crime is down, we’re lucky to live in Warwick and there are some very hard working councillors. Will this be the same next year, only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, I feel at home in Warwick, something missing for a long time.
