The Court of Common Council is the City of London’s primary decision making body and it meets nine times each year. There are 100 Common Councilmen representing the 25 Wards of the City and each Ward elects between 2 and 10 Common Councilmen depending on the size of the electorate. The Common Councilmen are elected every 4 years and the most recent elections were held in March 2017.The Ward of Farringdon Within elects 9 Common Councilmen and one of these is currently Ann Holmes. Fiona and I have got to know Ann from various City events and we have been keen to cultivate a relationship on behalf of the Worshipful Company of Water Conservators. This is primarily because Ann (amongst other roles) sits on the Education Board of Common Council and is a Governor of the City of London School for Girls. These roles link well with our Company interest in supporting education.
Earlier this week we met Ann for lunch at the Guildhall to discuss how these common interests could usefully link together.
