Mayor's Communications

Minutes:

Remembrance Sunday

 

The Mayor thanked those Members who attended the Remembrance Sunday and the Armistice Day events arranged throughout the Borough. The efforts made to mark these important occasions were very well received.

 

Christmas Lights

 

The Christmas lights were switched on in the Town Square on Thursday, 17th November, signalling the start of the Festive Season in Slough.  The  enthusiastic crowd enjoyed the entertainment and firework display.

 

Extraordinary Council meeting

 

The Mayor advised that she had received a request for an Extraordinary Council meeting to consider Children’s Services.  She had agreed to call the meeting on Monday 19th December at 7.15 pm, in the Council Chamber, and the agenda would be issued later in the week.

 

Christmas Celebration Evening

 

The Mayor would hold a Christmas Celebration Evening on Friday, 9th December and all members were invited.  This would be the last civic event to be held in the Town Hall and it is was hoped that all members would join the Mayor in celebrating both Christmas and the conclusion of almost 75 years of Council business being transacted in the Town Hall.
