This month I have had more non standard meetings than usual.I am on a scrutiny working group which is looking at the issue around horses being tethered on public land, specifically council owned, a practice that has existed in Swansea for decades if not centuries. It has created quite a lot of interest including a spot on BBC Radio Wales morning show. To ban, or not to ban, that has been the question especially at the most recent meeting I went to, and as ever the two sides have each thrown up valid points.
I've also attended a special audit committee meeting looking at just the one item, reviewing a particular project to see what lessens could be learned from it. We were going to deal with it at the previous meeting, but just as well we didn't try as we spent two hours on it!
In addition there have been the 'regulars', a full governor's meeting, and the monthly trust meeting at the Phoenix Centre which I go to support those in the running of the centre.
Now I'm off for a week away from it all - a well earned (well I think so!) break.
