I'm back!

The Guildhall

I will remember last week as one where as many meetings didn’t happen as did!

Had a really positive one with Lasa credit union, and Pheonix Café, to give my support in relaunching the collection point there, and to get a clearer idea of what I, as local coucnillor, could be doing to help.  Still working on getting one in Sea View School, so watch this space.

But on Tuesday only one out of a possible 3 took place, which was planning.  Not many applications in front of us but some good arguments were put forward, not just councillors but also by members of the public.  When the council chamber finally gets it’s facelift and provides even more seating for the public hopefully there will get even more people attending.Wednesday saw a change of venue with a Democratic Services meeting being held in the Guildhall (despite the fact that this building is currently having major repair & refurbishing works).  I’ve probably said this before but I like this committee as it looks at the machinery of council, with regard to both officers & councillors, which suits my strong organising streak.

Thursday saw yet another cancelled meeting – bit annoying as I only found out by going to the venue, but fortunately only a short drive up to Townhill.  However both evening meetings were on, and worth attending, I’m pleased to say – excellent talk by Mitch Theaker, Cabinet member for Children & Young People, on his role.  Swansea Council is very lucky to have someone as keen, enthusiastic and hard working.
