From the Lord Mayor's Office
If there’s one conversation I’m having consistently with people right across our Local Government Area right now, it’s housing.
I just love it when a plan comes together and, this week, a plan really did start to come together.
Lord Mayoral duties can take me all over our Local Government Area on any given day.
