Chairman’s Annual Report

With the elections held in May 2015 I welcome all the new faces and fresh ideas brought to Council. Through the year we have had 2 Councillors stand down and following the advertising of these posts, it was pleasing to see there were a number of candidates wishing to become Councillors. I therefore welcome Philippa Crooke and James Reed who were co-opted to the Council and thank the unsuccessful candidates for their interest in standing to represent the community.

I was honoured to accept Chairmanship of Yaxley Parish Council this year, my second term in office, and will say I’m beginning to understand the ropes. We have had a very busy but interesting year and have continued with existing programs and more importantly taken on new projects which will be evident in this report.
