Our Student Council Members Receive A Very Warm Welcome from the Mayor of Ards Borough

Our Student Council members received a very warm welcome from the Mayor of Ards Borough, Councillor Philip Smith when we visited Council Offices on Thursday 25^th September 2014.  Sandwiches, savoury snacks and soft drinks at the start of the visit were much appreciated and got the meeting of to a good start and helped create a relaxed atmosphere. 

The Mayor was joined by Councillor Joe Boyle and Chief Executive, Ashley Boreland for a very valuable question and answer session which gave students a clear insight into how Councillors are working to make the Borough a pleasant place in which to work.  The experience made a lasting impression and the Mayor’s suggestion of a Youth Council is worth serious consideration and is something in which we would like to be involved.

A plaque, displayed in our Foyer was presented to us as a memento of the occasion.  We thank the Mayor and his colleagues for spending time with us and we wish him every success for the remainder of his office.
