Another first, even after all this time


Visited Swansea Mosque on its national open day.  Fascinating, and as primarily a place of worship certainly not what you might expect.  The building is multifunctional, definitely a great example of what a community venue should be all about.  But the current building too small so they have been renovating the old church opposite.  They held their first event there quite recently, but whilst not yet confirmed I am looking forward to being at the official opening.

As well as the usual meetings, such as my Cabinet Advisory, Audit etc the best thing to happen this month was at last successfully forming our Friends of group, to help look after Mayhill Washing 'Lake' and develop a community food garden.  The future for both is really looking good.

But the main council event in the month of February is as ever the Budget Council meeting.  In the past these have been a marathon of ridiculous proportions, so 3 and a half hours was nothing!
