In October, we signed up to the "Civility and Respect Pledge," supporting civil and respectful conduct when dealing with Councillors, our Employees & the Public.

The Civic Centre should be a pleasant place for all - behaviours against the spirit of this pledge are not tolerated.

🐰 In Chinese culture, the rabbit is known to be the luckiest out of all the twelve animals. It symbolises mercy, elegance, and beauty.
Wishing all of this for each and every one of you this #lunarnewyear

@bbcapprentice 's loss is our gain! Well done Gregory - you gave it your best 'shot' and some memorable moments (but we're still not installing a cannon on the Civic Centre for you!)

Well, 'Cannon Guy' won the day in last week's @bbcapprentice ... how will he do tonight!? It's all about Bao Buns - but who'll get 'grilled' in the Boardroom!?
Hope it's not our very own Gregory Ebbs!
Good Luck, Greg ... we'll be watching!

@acorbettn It'll be interesting to see how they handle it all from an unprecedented 'procedural' perspective as this is unique (notwithstanding Gregory XII, who resigned for entirely different reasons) ...

A date for your brand new 2023 diaries ...!!
