Many congratulations to Stewart for his victory and I look forward to working with him for the benefit of Acocks Green. I was particularly pleased by the tribute he paid to Penny Wagg for the exceptional service she has given over the past 8 years. I don’t always agree with Stewart but on that point he was spot on. I’m sure Penny will be back, but for now I hope she enjoys a well deserved rest.
