Meetings and the weekend
Last night I attended a meeting of the Developing Communities sub-group of the Prestwich Local Area Partnership. There was lots on the agenda including updates on the progress of the Rainsough shops debate, the children’s centre, and other Prestwich regeneration projects. Of particular note are up-coming action to be taken as regards enforcement of dog fouling and littering. The local Lib Dems are on the war-path at the moment about both of these things, and it’s good to see that the Council are listening. So look out for some action in the coming months.
This morning I attended the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority meeting, where there was a lot of discussion of the roll-out of the new bus passes for the over 60s, and some frankly unfathomable reports on budgets which members around the table nodded sagely at whilst being spoken to by accountants talking soothingly.
On the way back from the meeting, perhaps as God’s gentle way of prodding me towards not giving up on reading complicated financial papers quite so easily, I managed to crash my car twice. Once into a wall whilst exiting the car park, and once into a lamppost whilst reversing into my space at work. They say bad things come in threes, so if you see me driving any time soon, best pull over to be on the safe side.
The Easter weekend kicks off in about four hours which will seem interminably long sat here at my desk. Blogging may or may not be sporadic during the long weekend. Obviously there will be more leafleting than I care for, as election time hurtles towards us. And on top of that, Tamsin goes away to Florida with her family for a fortnight, leaving me to live the life of a bachelor-king. So I may be being fed grapes by a lady somewhere, and have no time for the likes of this.
Probably not though, so I imagine I’ll be back tomorrow
