Breathless preparations
Last night I went for a run for the first time in too long. I was distressed to find that it is still as difficult as it was last time I went. Having moved house since I last tried it, I now have an exciting new route to try, which takes me into hiterto unexplored parts of the ward such as Rainsough and Hilton Lane. Unfortunately the run confirmed what frequent leafleting excursions had suggested - namely that the entire area wasn’t down hill.
Today I am continuing preparations for tomorrow night’s inaugural meeting of the Developing Communities LAP sub-group. The new Prestwich Plan is taking shape, and so hopefully we’ll be able to get a good,solid meeting tomorrow.
Before that though I am meeting a local resident tonight to talk about how the Council provides services to the Jewish community in Prestwich. Sedgley ward in particular has a very large and growing Jewish population, and I am the only Jewish councillor across all the three Prestwich wards. So it will be an interesting meeting with a man whom I know is very well informed and interested about these matters.
And at the very least it gives me the perfect excuse not to go running again. Something that makes me ache this much can’t be good for me.

have your say
