A lesson for us all ...

... as Paul Buchanan is convicted of Organisational Terrorism in Taunton's first ever Show Trial, and confirming the validity of the Dog & Duck Code of Conduct for Somerset County Councillors!

Presumably this puts any of the new members who may have been considering asking questions "on notice".

It also confirms that it really wasn't worth getting out of bed for last month's elections.

Don't want to be smug or anything ... but we were right all along!

Our Chief Executive Alan Jones has announced he will be leaving us later this month after six highly successful years.

Alan will be taking early retirement and his role will be taken over by the Deputy Chief Executive, David Taylor, on an acting basis.

It is expected that Full Council next week will formally approve his early retirement.

A press statement will be issued to the media later today and published on our website. It features tributes from Leader of the Council, Ken Maddock, and former Leader, Jill Short land.

Alan will write a special message to all staff in today’s Proper Gander issue – his final column after more than 300 contributions.

There will be an informal reception hosted by Alan at the end of the month for those staff wanting to say goodbye and wish him well – details will be announced shortly.
Thank you
