THANKS TO THE RETIRING LORD MAYOR Additional documents: Minutes: Moved by the Councillor Dempster, seconded by Councillor Clair and carried:
4. Thank you Lord Mayor. Lord Lieutenant, Chairman of the County Council, High Bailiff, Deputy Lord Mayor, Honorary Alderman, City Mayor, Councillors, Distinguished and Honoured Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am really pleased to be able to move the motion of thanks to the Lord Mayor and of course to the Lady Mayoress. Last year I stood here and talked about Councillor Joshi my co-councillor who I knew was going to have a very successful year. How did I know that because during the election campaign when we went round everybody knew Rashmi, knew Councillor Joshi to be hard working, to be committed to the city, to have a really sunny disposition and it was so evident at how much well-loved he is across this city, and the favourite phrase was Haribol and everybody responded and I just knew that it was going to be a successful year and I have not been disappointed and this city has not been disappointed. Three hundred, let me just look, 362 engagements. That is a lot of work because you know being Lord Mayor you still have the rest of your life, you still have to make a living and look after the home and all the other things. 362 engagements check webcast. So, there is you know the Armed Forces Day service and parade, there is the Christmas lights switch on, there is Diwali, a huge range of events throughout the year and this city was represented by Councillor Joshi and he did it so well. But he also had the support of a fabulous Lady Mayoress. I don’t know how many of you attended, it was not that very long ago, just a few weeks ago, when we had the Lady Mayoress’s coffee morning here in the Town Hall and I attended and it was a great event, lots of cakes, but it was just the whole diversity of the event, coffee morning, those words did not do credit to what was actually a really enjoyable morning. So thank you so much for supporting our Lord Mayor in a great job well done, and I just know that he will continue now for the next year, continue the great work that he has been doing in the last year in representing Humberstone and Hamilton but also being a representative for this city. I want to say a huge thank you to Councillor Joshi our outgoing Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress. Thank you.
