* A meeting between opposition group leaders and the City Council's Chief Executive and Depute Chief Executive about the council budget meeting fiasco took place later in the morning. I am extremely concerned about the SNP administration's gagging of any opposition - and an updated report of the matter was given in tonight's "Evening Telegraph."
* This afternoon, I met with Lawrence Davie, Managing Director of National Express Dundee, along with West End Community Council, about improving West End Bus Services. It was a productive and useful exchange of views. The bus company will announce changes to services from June and I am anxious to see improvements for the West End.
