MESSAGE FROM THE RETIRING MAYOR,
COUNCILLOR JILL GORE
My Year as Mayor
My year of office as Mayor of the Borough has now ended but my memories of the wonderful people I've met, places I've visited and events I've attended will always be fresh in my mind. I trust I've been able to make a small difference to the lives of some of our residents by sharing words of encouragement, listening, supporting or being interested in their achievements and hopes.
Some of the 'high spots' of my year include:
Arranging the 'Design the Mayor's Christmas Card' competition for schools. I was delighted to receive so many entries and the finished card with its verse and picture was designed, written and printed within the Borough.
Being able to meet so many volunteers and witness the unsung work they do.
Having the opportunity to experience and enjoy the varied talents of the younger members of our community.
And the outstanding memory will always be welcoming the Queen when she visited the Borough.
To be offered the position of Mayor is a great honour and I am privileged to have had the opportunity to serve our vibrant community.
Oadby and Wigston is populated with outstanding citizens and I thank each and every one of you for always making me welcome and for helping me to complete a successful year as Mayor.
