QUADRANT 60TH ANNIVERSARY
Dunstable Town Mayor Councillor Richard Attwell and his fiancé, Patricie, got the party started yesterday for the Quadrant's 60th anniversary.
They were there to cut the cake on the stage and make a speech at 11am, they then visited a few shops and took in some cake to Hinds the jewellers and Boots who are now the only 2 original shops left from opening day in 1966!! They then looked around all the stalls and photos and took a short break in one of the deckchairs while listening to a few of the wartime songs from the professional singer.

Thank-you so much to all those that attended my Mayor making ceremony last night. It really is such an honour and privilege to become Mayor of Dunstable. I can’t express how proud I am, I will do my best to serve the town and residents to the best of my ability and look forward to making many more friendships throughout my Mayoral year. Kind regards and best wishes to you all.

Yesterday's by-election in Dunstable East ward resulted in a win for the Reform party. A party that has extensive resources . However, we were impressed by our candidate Leona Sydney, who was drafted in at short notice, had minimal social media content but put in a lot of leg work not withstanding she is a working wife and mum of three. As a result she polled higher than the ex-mayor and outgoing ex-councillor who was disqualified for not attending meetings for 6 months. Perhaps her supporters had decided that they were not being properly represented at council meetings, even though they had extensive social media content.

With a year to the end of the current term for Town Councillors, Dunstable Independents councillors will continue to support their constituents and the Town. On that note Cllr Nicholas Kotarski will be off to the MUGA off Jardine Way this weekend with basketballs for use by the residents of Dunstable.

Thanks to all those who assisted Leona and those that cast their vote in her favour.
