NEXT MEETING FOR RESIDENTS WITH SOUTH YORKSHIRE POLICE

29/05/2026

TODAYS ANNUAL COUNCIL

Today was the first Full Council of the new municipal year today. Like I have done every year, on a matter of principle, I did not attend the Council Tax payer subsidised Luncheon following the meeting.

I voted against the nomination of both Mayor and Deputy Mayor. The reason I did this that i thought tradition should carry on, with the previous year's deputy mayor taking over. The majority party broke with tradition and elected 2 from their party.

Whats done is now done and I'm looking forward to working with members of all parties, opposing some plans, arguing my points etc.

What the residents of Rockingham Ward can be sure of is their needs are my needs.

As the Council motto asks ‘Spectemur Agendo’ - Judge Us By Our Actions.

GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY

HUNT STREET, HOYLAND COMMON

YOUR South Area Council Caretaker Team were busy at the end of last week.

After receiving complaints from volunteer litter pickers that couldn't get into these bushes to get the litter, I asked OUR Environmental Project Officer to schedule some attention on these hedges.

However, value for money shouldn't be measured by how many hedges they cut, or how many pink bags they collect.

I'd suggest those questioning it, to have a few hours with the Team OR talk to the residents about what their thoughts are.
