It’s been a quiet period where former Councillors are taking time off to rest while the election results slowly trickle in.
I’ve taken some time off…. We had a church camp where one of our kids picked up gastro and the last few days have been resting at home. Another kid joined girl guides and we’ve setup a playpen for the little one as she’s starting to propel forward and likes to explore.
I’ve been helping various residents with queries – mostly linked to tree issues, parking fines, stormwater issues, North Turramurra traffic problems, etc. This is despite none of us getting paid for the next three weeks, so it’s on an entirely voluntary basis.
I also attended the volunteer of the year awards (picture with Peter Tate, President of the Kissing Point Sports Club where I am the inaugural patron).
Plus I packed up the Mayoral office in a box and moved out, ready for the next Mayor of Ku-ring-gai to settle in. The robe has been dry-cleaned for a fresh start.
At the moment the Roseville Ward result is still too close to call. I know I am in but whether the second councillor is Alec or Kath it is not yet known and depends on the preferences. My prediction is Alec will end up ahead by around five hundred votes but that’s assuming that the vast majority of voters who went below the line chose the status quo by doing 1 Sam 2 Alec. We won’t find out until next week.
