It is now at the end of my year as the mayor of Beccles.

It has been an honour representing a town such as Beccles. We have so much going for us and the people who contribute so much only add to what makes this town great.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me in the last year and their ongoing support for the town. There are too many to mention individually.

Although much has been done such as taking over Blyburgate Hall, and getting the quay back, so much more still needs to be done.

As Beccles expands and the town council takes on more responsibilities, we need to look to the future and plan how we do this. We are also looking at the quay area to see what can be done to improve this for the future.

I ask that you continue to support the town council and the new mayor in the next year.
