These are very difficult times with manyevents cancelled and even everyday contacts withfriends, neighbours and businesses held at a distance.Despite all the changes we need to keep life as near tonormal as possible.Iwas delighted to meet with Kath Howard from the Friendsof the Bowring Park and Peter Seaward and Vic Young fromWellington Rotary to mark the park’s participation in theToilet Twinning Scheme – a worldwide project to tackle theproblem of sanitation in developing countries.We’re all aware that the NHS is concerned that tests andtreatments for other medical conditions may be delayed dueto Covid. With this in mind, I am making the Cancer Charitiesin Wellington my Mayoral Charity for this year to maintainawareness of this important work.I am also determined to keep all our local businesses inthe public eye. The ‘Love Wellington’ website and Facebookpages are full of comments and descriptions, thank you foryour good humoured participation, and I am keen to promotethe ‘Let’s Get Local in Wellington this Christmas’ campaign– urging people to support local businesses as much as theycan with Christmas shopping.At this time when we need to be imaginative withcommunication and keep in touch even though communitygroups and events are ‘different’ this year. In this season’sWellington Town Council Calendar we have had to adapt inhow we celebrate important events: Remembrance Day -always very important to the whole community and this yearit was a ‘virtual’ event, filmed before and relayed on the dayitself in a most moving way.There will be Christmas Lights and a giant tree in Wellingtoncentre as usual, but this year a remote ‘switch on’ will takeplace; again pre filmed and photographed and streamed viasocial media for people to participate from a distance.When the nights draw in Wellington will be lit up, ‘lostsheep’ are there to be found in Wellington’s window displaysand our traders are still here to serve you. Please supportour local charities, our community groups and businessesas much as you are able to as we all prepare for a quietChristmas, probably in our own homes.Cllr Pat FaircloughWellington Mayor2020-202103
