Chairperson’s Remarks:


I would like to thank everyone on the Black Mount Community
Council for all their hard work throughout the year, which was much
appreciated. The Community Council would not have been able to
achieve so much without the full support of its members. I would
particularly like to thank Mr. Don Barrie, who stepped down in October,
for his valuable contribution to the work of the Black Mount Community
Council over the years. As always, we are grateful to Cllr Tom McAlpine
for his advice, guidance and patience, and all members of the public who
have attended our meetings and given us support in our work for their
community.

Joan Highton
