The new team in charge of the City of Hamilton held its first press conference today, pledging to keep its election promises and conduct a full review of the way the capital is run.Mayor Graeme Outerbridge, who beat incumbent Charles Gosling by 109 votes to 88, said it felt “wonderful” to win last night but admitted the run-up to the municipal vote was a “big learning curve”.He praised the outgoing administration for the “excellent job that they have done for the city” and said his nine-strong team was now “looking forward to going forward”.Acknowledging that he won the mayoral vote with the backing of just 16 percent of Hamilton’s 680 registered voters, the former common councillor said: “I think that that counsels me to listen to both sides. I have been through this before.”He added: “I think the vote counsels me to basically pay attention to the business sector, to be inclusive in this administration. That was always our intent.”The team’s priority, said Mr Outerbridge, would be North East Hamilton, where the infrastructure was in need of serious attention.“Walk down Reid Street, Front Street, and then go walk down Court Street and some of the side streets and you’ll see a noticeable difference,” he said.This morning’s press conference in the Mayor’s Chambers at City Hall saw Mr Outerbridge flanked by other members of his successful Team Hamilton: new aldermen Gwyneth Rawlins, Donal Smith and Carlton Simmons; and common councillors Larry Scott, George Scott and Anthony Davis.They were joined by RoseAnn Edwards, another newcomer as common councillor, who was on Mr Gosling’s election team and won the most votes of any candidate: 150.Team Hamilton member Troy Symonds, another new common councillor, was not present.Several members of Mr Outerbridge’s team are members of the Progressive Labour Party but the Mayor said party politics never came up in their discussions.“I’m not a member of the PLP,” he said, adding that the administration’s focus was to work for the city and that the Corporation had a strictly defined role in law.Mr Scott said: “I’m hoping that the media won’t exacerbate what appears to you to be a divide. If there are persons here associated with the Progressive Labour Party, as I am, I would have thought it would be an open door for our better communication [with Government].”Useful websites: www.cityhall.bm and www.elections.gov.bm.
