A vote of thanks
I'd like to take a moment to recognise two local councillors who didn't contest the elections, and who are stepping down: Liz Brookes and Barbara Yerolemou. Both Liz and Barbara have served with distinction for many years as councillors for their respective parties (20 for Liz, I think at least as long for Barbara), and I know the degree of personal commitment they have shown in that time. In our cynical age I suspect many people imagine it's a doddle being a local politician; it isn't, and those like Liz and Barbara who've done the surgeries, and put in thousands of hours at frequently soul-crushingly dull committee meetings (often at some personal cost), deserve thanks. Mine, anyway.
