For the first time at a UNISON AGM the Council Leader, Kerrie Carmichael, and Mayor, Bill Gavan were invited to attend and celebrate 50 years of Sandwell. That’s 50 years of providing services to make Sandwell a better place to live for all its residents.
In front of a full council chamber they met former colleagues who worked for Sandwell in 1974. Each former Sandwell Council worker was given a specially designed and produced enamel badge to mark the 50 years.
Holding the banner left to right are Bill Hendersen, Kaye Powell, Yvonne Humphries, the Leader Kerrie Carmichael, Mayor Bill Gavan, Andy Roberts, Chris Burgess, Barbara Hall and Tony Barnsley, UNISON Branch Secretary.
