A long one

I'm very pleased that sense has prevailed and the North Edinburgh Arts Centre is to get a reprieve. Now the Board has to make their rescue plan stack up. Anything I can do to help, I will, including sending a cheque for their appeal.

Attended the Royston/Wardieburn Community Council last night which went well...and then on to the West Pilton Community Council...Allan Jackson has been a man of his word and moved things on with TIE. As a member of TIE's Board he is in a good position to hold them to account and he has got them to admit that if the Council lift their objections to the Access Road remaining closed then they can make the engineering work...now it's up to both Coalition councillors in Forth to put the pressure on their officials to play ball. Shouldn't be too difficult...there will undoubtedly be another public meeting and we'll see how that goes.

Two days back and two 14 hour days...by the end of the week I will have undone any good the holiday ever did...Council meeting tomorrow...- many deputations...it's bound to be a long one!
