My name is Cllr Alec Brown and I would like to take the time to acknowledge the fantastic results that you are achieving in both my ward and across the borough of Redcar & Cleveland. Last year Dormanstown JFC and I where fortuitous to have you agree to a meeting at the junior football club. The young people made a decision from a number of potential social action projects that they would help Dormanstown JFC to the delight of all the kids at the club, the volunteers, the committee and me. The positivity the social action project created around the club was staggering, with the community turning up in force to celebrate the achievements at the clubhouse, on a fun day also arranged by the young people. It is my pleasure to be working with you all again as you will be highlighting the environmental enhancements achieved by local community group, The Friends of Redcar. The positivity and motivation the young people inject into the borough of Redcar & Cleveland cannot be underestimated and long may it continue. It is with great anticipation that I foresee working with you for many years to come for the enhancement of the borough and my ward of Dormanstown.
