I was delighted to be asked to open the new library at Fulfen school and to see the amazing and exciting books that are available for the students to read. Reading is such an enjoyable and important opportunity to trigger the imagination and can be so relaxing, particularly during this modern age of technology.

It was also great to talk and be questioned by members of the school council who asked some very pertinent questions about the role of Burntwood Town Council. They were very perceptive and confident and it was a joy to be in their presence.

The whole experience showed me once again how wonderful our young generation are and what a great contribution they can make to Burntwood both now and in the future.
