 Happy Christmas everyone. I'm really pleased to be Chairman of South County District Council. I'm proud of the work that we've done. The council, officers and members work really hard for their residents. And it's one of the highest quality and life areas in the country. Last year was really very exciting in that we worked hard with the City Deal to bring more homes and businesses and better transport rates to South County. And this coming year we look forward to developing the devolution deal where 100 million pounds is being spent on more homes for our residents. This time last year we were looking forward to opening 20 new council houses in Swabsea. This year we're looking forward to opening new homes on an exception site in Foxton. Homes for local young people who are desperate to find a home of their own. My charity which is Dogs for Good has been sponsoring a new puppy called Hope who will help some person who really will benefit from a dog, who helps them dress, is their companion, helps them find things, finds the phone for them, all sorts of jobs. Dogs are wonderful and our charity has done very well this year. We've raised over 3,000 pounds, we only need 2,000 more before we've taken a puppy and re-edit ready for its link with its new owner. We all get rid of a whole lot more recycling materials this time of the year. So please try to compact it in your bins and put it out on the correct day which is bound to be different from the usual day because of the holiday period. Over the holiday period the offices will be closed. So check our website, it will tell you when we're open and if there is an emergency you'll find emergency numbers there to help you through. Finally I just wish you a really happy Christmas and a really good new year.
