The outgoing Mayor of Warminster, Cllr Andrew Cooper, has passed on his thanks to the people of Warminster as he looks back on a successful year.
During his time as mayor, Cllr Cooper helped to champion a growing business community, support events across the town and highlight the work of the Warminster community.
He also raised £2,190 for his chosen charities, Wiltshire Mind and Open Door Warminster, during his municipal year which included a very popular Mayor’s Charity Tea Dance.
Speaking after Cllr Jack Jones took over as the new Mayor of Warminster on Monday 11th May, Cllr Cooper said, “I have reflected upon what I had let myself in for and my reflections encouraged me to draw two simple conclusions: first, what an enormous privilege it has been and second, how many thanks I owe to so many people for the trust they placed in me and the kindness and support so many have contributed to my term of office that followed.”
“This is a wonderful town. Of course, we are not immune from difficulty in Warminster but what I see and hear on a daily basis – a thriving and growing business community, families with their children happily playing in the Lake Pleasure Grounds, people greeting each other in the street and reaching out to each other, bus drivers dropping the elderly at their front doors and carrying their bags for them, not forgetting the hugely popular and successful public events.
“Thank you once again to you all, each and every one of you, and may I end by offering publicly my unreserved support and loyalty to my successor.”
