I was delighted to accept the position of Mayor / Chair of Amble Town Council recently.
There’s a great deal of work to be done for our town & I look forward to working with the great team of councillors we have on Amble Town Council, along with our excellent staff, to crack on and get stuck in.
Whether it’s performing our statutory duties like maintaining the town’s bus stops, allotments & cemeteries or advocating for residents concerns in our regular meetings with NCC officers, the Town Council is the first rung in the ladder of local government. In the coming months the Town Council will work to build stronger and more productive partnerships with local voluntary & community sector organisations to further Amble’s regeneration and build stronger community ties.
My goal is for Amble Town Council to become a more public-facing & progressive body, I know other councillors share my views and as a group we will work hard to make this happen. It’s worth adding that we all do so as volunteers committed to the great town we live in.
So I look forward to working alongside the rest of the council in the coming months, in particular our new Deputy Mayor & Vice Chair of Amble Town Council Cllr. Jenny Richards, to tackle the issues facing our town.
Cllr Luke McTaggart, Mayor, Amble Town Council
