Leading up to Christmas the Phoenix Centre gets very busy, what with preparing for a number of events including the Lantern Parade, Christmas Breakfasts, and so on. On 3rd I was happy to join staff and Swansea West MS, Julie James, in launching the Supporting Our Community campaign which was able to supply food hampers to those families across the ward who needed them. The rest of the month was much quieter on the meeting front, with my usual three policy development committees, and licensing.
Things have definitely picked up during January, and alongside the ‘usuals’ I attended quite a few one-offs ;
- a good seminar on Swansea’s local health board; the presentation itself was a bit dry but the questions afterwards were all very pertinent, and helpful
- really positive site visit to discuss the refurbishment of Gors Avenue shops; we intend giving other shops in the ward a similar facelift
- electric bike trial at the Phoenix Centre, 
I also managed two litter picks, a new bi-monthly meeting with the police, Friends of Washing Lake AGM, and door knocking on Longridge & Highview to see what the residents would like to see the green space used for.
The best news of the month has to be that the play areas for Mayhill Park have at long last been constructed. A formal launch is planned in February but apparently by the afternoon of the day it opened the area was jammed full of children, so it looks like they have definitely given it the thumbs up!
