I was delighted to be invited to attend BWAC's AGM earlier today. We heard an annual report and were then treated to a delicious lunch. After lunch the new Committee was inducted into office by the Mayor Cllr Sherwan Choudhury who came to the UK from Bangladesh in 1976 and is one of the founding members of BWAC; we then heard a few speeches and some traditional singing.
My ward colleague Cllr Quadir is also a long-standing member of BWAC and it was disappointing that he was unable to attend today because he's not well - we wish him a speedy recovery.
BWAC provides a fantastic support network across the community and it was very interesting to hear about all the services that are provided.
Cllr Simon Brew
