Summer Season

 As mentioned in previous blog here’s two month’s worth ie for July & August …

July saw all the usual committee meetings come and go including our monthly Friends of group meeting.  All chuffed to bits on hearing that we had been awarded the Green Flag Community Award for the 5th year running.

These ‘regulars’ were followed by a handful of one-offs including …
 - attending a school governors meeting to confirm the permanent appointment of head Paul Davies at Dylan Thomas Community School, who in my humble opinion has been doing an inspirational job there.  So well pleased that he’s not going anywhere!
 - participating in Licensing Safeguarding training online which was very interesting, and especially important for emphasising the role of our committee in making sure that taxi drivers across the city are ‘fit & proper’.

In contrast August has been quieter partly as we were away for a lot of it, but also as not many meetings are held in this month.  However I had a licensing sub committee meeting, which generally start with a briefing then the applicants join the meeting.  It should have started at 9.15, but because of technical issues finally got off the ground at 11.15, and in the end was almost a formality as the main issue had been sorted out between applicant and officers in the interim.  If only they were all so straightforward! 
In addition I still held my monthly surgery in the Phoenix Centre – don’t usually get many takers but like to think it’s worth it as people get to see me out in the community.  And went to an excellent fun day also in the Phoenix Centre.  Claim to fame that day?  See photo of me with Lee Trundle, ex Swans footballer, now excellent ambassador for the club.
