Meetings a-plenty
Apologies for quietness on the blogging front in recent days. Busyness is no excuse, but I am going to use it all the same.
On Wednesday night it was the inaugural meeting of the Local Area Partnership sub-group on Community Development. There were Council representatives from all three Prestwich wards, as well as from Bury Council, the Police, Salix Homes (Salford’s housing management company who manage the houses in Rainsough), and community activists. It was a good turnout and although I had to leave the meeting after an hour it was still enough time to hear about some exciting plans and ideas which will hopefully come to fruition in the months to come.
This morning I attended a meeting of the Passenger Transport Authority, where the big item on the agenda is the extension of the concessionary fare scheme from next spring. About 400,000 over-60s in Greater manchester will be applying for, and receiving, new passes in the next few months, starting in October. It’s a big task for the people managing the change, but we were assured that there’ll be plenty of communication and everything will run smoothly.
