We'll be looking at ways we can better facilitate

The formulation of a coherent strategy

Designed to lead us into the future

With confidence in our proven ability to communicate

On a meaningful level in an open and fair transparent society

With front line facilities, roads and utilities,

And it's pissing down with rain.
