The annual Wardmote was held in St Mary Aldermary Church on Wednesday 20 March. \u00a0The Wardmote was presided over by the Alderman, Sir Roger Gifford, and was well attended by electors. \u00a0The two Common Councilmen, Sir Michael Snyder and Alex Barr, briefly spoke about current Ward and City issues, including roadworks, congestion, air quality and business activity.<\/p>\n
Thomas Ackland retired as Honorary Ward Clerk – after no less that 41 years in office. \u00a0The Alderman and Sir Michael Snyder both paid tribute to his consciousness and efficiency, as well as his enthusiasm for the Ward. \u00a0John Miller, former Clerk to the Cordwainers’ Company was appointed as the new Honorary Ward Clerk.<\/p>\n
Sir Roger and Sir Michael also paid tribute to Sir Mark Boleat, who had announced his retirement as a member of the Court of Common Council the previous week. \u00a0He had been an outstanding Policy Chairman of the City as well as being a good member of the Ward team.<\/p>\n
