Amendment No. 27 seeks to allow councillors to propose amendments to the mayor's programme for office. While we are conscious that this is the mayor's programme and not the councillors' programme, we feel they should have the power to have a view on it. This amendment would facilitate suggestions from councillors and allow councillors to feel more a part of the programme while having some ownership over its implementation.
