Councillor’s Corner

What a dreadful new year!- heard so many times already. Yes there’s been a tremendous amount of rain and very cold dark days but let’s view things from a different angle. Look at all our small town achieved last year- rated seventh of the ‘Coolest Seaside Towns’ by a national newspaper; 5th in Coast magazine’s ‘Best Up and Coming Seaside Towns’ and winning the Coastal Communities section of The Great British High Street Awards. A wonderful display of Christmas Lights and a fantastic parade. Wow- enough to brighten anyone’s day! Thankfully our town has not been blighted by the terrible floods which have devastated so many homes on what should have been a time of wonderful family gatherings. Primroses are showing their cheerful faces,  spring bulbs are poking through the soil- all telling us of good days to come. Let’s look forward with a smile and a word of encouragement and good cheer for all.
