I am immensely priveleged to chair the Audit and Resources Sub-Committee at Somerset County Council. This has enabled me to come into contact with some of the most able officers currently giving service anywhere in English local government. I must single out the unflappability and good nature of Roger J Kershaw, Corporate Director of Resources, whose honesty in all things financial is a shining beacon to us. Naturally I would also include our Chief Executive who has lifted the entire council from merely average to absolutely superb. It is his efforts that should be most applauded. And if, after the June elections, my party is returned to office I will be championing the cause of our senior officers to my colleagues. These are people we would be proud to work with. They know their stuff. And I know they know because they tell me so.
