She advised Members that she was delighted to present the minutes of the working party and highlighted how hard the party worked to bring forward the projects.

Councillor A V Smith provided Members with updates on the opening of the new peace garden at Coalville Park and urged anyone who had not visited to do so, that the Owen Street changing rooms were now under construction and that the Annual Christmas lights switch on would be held on Saturday, 21 November and that Sheena McHugh would be switching the lights on.

He highlighted that it had been agreed to raise the flag on a very poignant day.
