Cllr JC Crissey, Town Mayor
I would just like to say that it has been a pleasure working with Neil for the last 8.5 years. He has always provided an open office for anything I wanted to discuss, and mostly had a good sense of humour. Neil will be missed for his knowledge of local government legislation, as well as his often thoughtful and wise advice on sometimes very tricky issues. I wish Neil all the best in his retirement, as he pursues some of his interests in life.
Steve Field, Projects & Office Manager
