Walking around town I get approached by people who raise various issues that they believe "The Council" should fix. These rangefrom the size of lorries and the need for affordable homes, to the clocks changing and the costs of eggs.
While chatting in the street is useful, it can be a bit hit and miss.
Some things can be taken forward (not just clocks) but many can't and it can be very frustrating for everyone concerned. The Town Council does not have very many 'powers', but it can have 'influence' and it can pass on residents' needs and opinions to the appropriate bodies with some degree of authority.
So chat to your Councillors!
All Councillors are available and accessible and their contact details are on the Town Council's website, but this can also be built upon through open these sessions
Let's ensure local views are heard.
The recently approved Communication Plan aims to do just that.
Keep an eye out for its activities.
Or send a message.
