A Note from Nicki Hood – Member Engagement Officer

The past fortnight Nicki has been working on North West Roadshow preparations, and meeting with members across the North West with site visits at Yaraandoo, Rubicon Grove, and Coroneagh Park. Nicki has also been assisting with Public Sector Campaign – keep an eye out for flyers in your ward to record overtime and double shifts.
