Promising Projects and more

As well as the usual meetings progress has been made on a couple of projects:
 - Firstly the tired play area in front of the Phoenix Centre has had a complete overhaul, with a vastly improved surface and lots of play equipment.  The three of us local councillors attended the official opening ceremony in March, with lots of children making good use of what’s on offer.
 - The second ongoing project is to green up Graiglwyd roundabout and now the funding has been confirmed it’s definitely going ahead.  The idea is to ensure plants & trees are low maintenance whilst still making the area more attractive.

This is now my 5th year as the representative from Governance & Audit on to a sub-committee, where I help prepare the Annual Governance Statement, a very wordy lengthy report aiming to show that the council’s work has been carried out properly.  Over the years I have developed a key role as I seem to be very good at spotting date errors!

Other events and meetings in brief:
 - wore something purple to council in early March to recognise International Women’s Day
 - attended two sessions so far looking at future development across the city
 - went online for the local policing meeting, which has always been a very useful way of being kept uptodate on police activity in the ward, and to raise any issues face to face
 - at my March surgery in the Phoenix Centre met up with the latest PCSO recruited to the area
