🏛 EXCLUSIVE: CITY HALL DATA — Only on The Desk

What's City Hall doing while you're waitin' for the ferry?

Here's what your City Hall was up to this week

Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.

Well now, it’s been a bit of a quiet spell down at City Hall this week, hasn't it? You’d think with all the hustle and bustle down on Argyle Street, there’d be more chatter from the suits, eh? But sometimes, my son, the biggest news is the news that ain't quite ready to spill yet. We've been keepin' an ear to the ground, watchin' for those big agenda items to drop, particularly with council meetings comin' up. It’s like waitin’ for the next ferry at Alderney, you know it’s comin’, just not exactly when.

* No big new civic data hit the wires.

* The chatter around council focused more on anticipation than action.

It feels like City Hall is just tunin' up its fiddle before the real ceilidh starts, if you catch my drift. Just keepin' things simmerin' for ya, right up until the big decisions get made.

Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.

You should check out mornings.live for more, my son!
