Winter could spoil my attendance record

by franklittle on 12 November, 2008

The occasional frost of recent nights is a warning of the seasons of colds, influenza and the consequent seizing-up of the bronchi, to come. I am taking precautions, as I hope others in my situation are doing: I had the ‘flu jab yesterday and will have the one for pneumonia next week.

Even so, I will do well to keep up my record of attending council meetings. I was fortunate enough to miss only two county borough seminars and one community council meeting because of ill-health in the spring. It is unlikely that I will be able to keep this up through the winter, but I shall try. I also am prepared to defend my attendance record in public, which is why I want to see Neath Port Talbot being brought into line with other councils, which publish such details, along with the register of members’ interests, on their web-sites. I understand that a review by officers of the council is already looking at this, and I hope that there will be a favourable outcome.

The councillor surgery will take place as planned on Saturday 29th November in the small room at Cadoxton Community Centre, between 10 and 12 in the morning.

I assume that people will have more important concerns during the festive season, so I do not intend to hold a surgery at the end of December, unless there is a public demand.
