Agenda item - Mayor's Communications.

83.1      The Mayor stated that she wished to give her congratulations to the winning team of council staff, which recently represented Brighton & Hove in the Local Authority Challenge.  The team spent the day as the management team of a fictional local authority, encountering many of the tasks that a real corporate team would deal with. They had to work as a team, with neighbouring councils and with partner organisations to deliver a new strategy for the council.  The Mayor then invited the staff who made up the team come up to accept their awards along with Councillor Morgan.

83.2      The Mayor stated that she would like to encourage all councillors to take part in the forthcoming ‘Blue and White Day’ on the 27^th April to show support for Albion in the Community.  People were encouraged to post photos or videos of themselves in blue and white on social media.  Lots of businesses and schools from around the city would be taking part and posting images of themselves and it would be fantastic to have some of the councillors involved.
