Had a useful update on what projects there are to help get people ready for employment, not just in Townhill ward but across Swansea. I was really pleased to hear some inspiring success stories, such as the person who was totally lacking in confidence, but with the right support not only got a job placement but was then given taken on permanently.
Two special events this month which I was privileged to attend ...
- the opening of the long awaited new health centre, Mountain View, which has replaced the old surgery on Penygraig Road, which now incorporates the Family Centre, whose existing building on Mayhill Rd would cost too much to repair, and a pharmacy;- the service in St Mary's to recognise 100 years of the RAF - quite poignant for me as my Dad was in the RAF, ground crew.
And had all the usual monthly committee meetings and an unexpectedly long full council - the length of the agenda can be very misleading - which finally finished just before 9pm!
