“This gives a perfect opportunity to reflect and build on our achievements, looking at how the Mayor can best serve residents and how we can continue to innovate.
“As well as raising much-needed funds for my chosen charities to support the important work they do, I am keen to use my year to highlight three key areas.
“I want to help enhance health and wellbeing in Bromley, to focus on the variety of ways we use our green spaces, and to share some of the exciting work that takes places locally in science and technology, which is so important for addressing the challenges we face together.
“I am also keen for the Mayor to continue enhancing our community cohesion as I strive to be Mayor for all of Bromley, so please do get in touch if you are hosting an event, as we would love to be part of these whenever possible.
“It is going to be an exciting time, especially in this Olympic year, and I look forward to meeting many of you throughout the year as we continue onwards and upwards together”.
