Bravo to all of the children who performed in the Merton Infant School Easter play last week!

The Mayoress and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and meeting the children and staff too. Thank you for inviting us, we hope you all have a restful Easter break.

As many of you will know, I'm a full-time wheelchair user. Other wheelchair users are often surprised that I regularly use the bus to travel around the area so I have made this short video which I hope will help to explain how easy it is. Thanks to Stagecoach South for their help

The Mayoress and I send our warmest wishes to all Muslims observing Ramadan which starts this week. This is a very special time for those of Muslim faith, a time for fasting, prayer, reflection and enjoying a sense of community. May it bring peace and joy to all.

Ramadan Mubarak

The Mayoress and I recently visited Shaw healthcare to attend a surprise party for their activity coordinator Rosie. Rosie has been supporting the resident of Shaw Healthcare to express themselves by writing poetry. Thank you to everyone for a lovely afternoon.

The Mayoress and I recently had the honour of seeing @SherfieldSchoolHampshire ‘s production of The Little Shop of Horrors at The Haymarket. It was a great evening and the show was brilliant. Everyone, both on stage and behind the scenes, worked very hard. Thank you!

I recently attended a dinner at the Basingstoke Probus Club with the Mayoress. We were treated to a talk about the history of the BBC and what TV production was like in the 70s.

The club kindly made a donation to my charity appeal. You can find out more: basingstoke.gov.uk/mayorcharity

I wish the King a speedy recovery on behalf of the residents of Basingstoke and Deane. Anybody who has received a similar diagnosis will understand the worry and uncertainty it can bring and I'm sure that this is no different for His Majesty. My thoughts are with the The Royal Family

Thank you 1st Tadley Guides for coming to the civic offices and for your influencer badge presentation about considering local issues and how to contact MPs, councillors, headteachers etc. It was an honour to present you with your badges afterwards. Well done to you all.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Mayoress and me on Saturday to mark #HolocaustMemorialDay . As always the service was moving and poignant, giving us the opportunity to reflect on the fragility of freedom and to remember the victims of genocides throughout the years.
