In addition to a number of visits to constituents earlier today, I have :
* Attended an open meeting of the Pennycook and Sinderins Courts Residents' Association, where I discussed a number of local matters at a good gathering of the sheltered tenants. These included an update on progress with the Pennycook Lane seating and planting project, bin collection issues, noise concerns and the damaged (missing) bus stop on Perth Road near Step Row (I have reported this to the City Council).
* Taken part in the latest Jericho House Support Group meeting at which good progress on the dance event and the play planned by Jericho House was discussed - both will run during West End Christmas Week. We also had a useful update on Jericho House's work in the local community.
* Chaired a well-attended meeting of tenants from the Morven Terrace and Ancrum Place sheltered housing, at which a member of the City Council's Environment Department was present to discuss grass maintenance and related issues (and we had a useful walkabout round the grass areas after the meeting to look at maintenance issues). At the meeting, we also discussed a number of other local concerns - fencing, guttering repairs, heating/bathroom/kitchen replacements and overgrown hedging to name a few.
* ... and this evening I chaired the latest West End Christmas Week committee meeting. Good progress is being made on the 2011 planned celebrations that run from 26th November to 3rd December.
