Today, I took part in the Jericho House Support Group latest meeting, at which we discussed and planned events for this very worthwhile project, including a dance during November and also a play Jericho House is planning on the subject of recovery from alcoholism. It is hoped the play will run during West End Christmas Week. The recent sponsored walk for Jericho House raised nearly £1000 - an excellent result.
Later on, I attended the West End Schools Project Board - the board set up to oversee the building project on the former Logie Secondary School site on Blackness Road for a new St Joseph's Primary School and Park Place Nursery and Primary Schools. I mentioned that the City Council must consider the need for a school crossing patroller on Glenagnes Road when the new schools open in October 2012.
Tonight, I attended a meeting of River Crescent Residents' Association at which I discussed with residents a number of local matters, including the possibility of a Friends group for Riverside Nature Park and local roads issues.
This morning's Courier covered my comments about Royal Mail's decision to close the Crichton Street collection office and tonight's Evening Telegraph reported on the 4S bus situation to St John's High School and my concerns at the removal of this school bus. A meeting of parents about the matter has been arranged for next Wednesday and I have booked Blackness Library for that meeting.
