Agenda item - Chair's Communications

The Chair gave the following communications:

I would like to thank Jo Player who is retiring from the Council for all her hard work over many decades to our community safety and licensing objectives. She has worked hard to support members across the parties in working through their decisions and supporting her officer teams. We will miss her but we wish her well on her next chapter and may it be long and fun.

I would like to thank Jim Whitelegg for stepping up as Acting Head of Safer Communities and I know members will be delighted with his appointment.
