Now, Sir Tim’s own words re-emerge out of his mayoral columns, illustrating his interest in and love of almost everything, and everyone, in this full-bodied account of his final challenging years as mayor. Contextualised with official records and news media accounts, the book also llustrates contemporary challenges facing the local government sector.
