New month, new discipline

New month's resolution is to be more disciplined about blog posts, little point otherwise... Full Council meeting tomorrow, not a particularly heavy agenda but the report recommending that the Council puts advocacy services out to tender will be very contentious. You would have thought that they'd learned the lessons from the Care and Support debacle wouldn't you ? Labour Group meeting last night was addressed by new Chief Executive, Sue Bruce. She has a reputation for being hard but fair and was certainly very open about her first impressions having been in the job for a month now. Time will tell, and one has to judge on actions not words or reputations. Latest meeting of the Freelands Road development sub group in Ratho tonight. Given that Cala have had to close the main road into the village for a week to allow work to tie in new sewers I am hoping that all the alternative arrangements for buses and traffic diversions have gone smoothly. If not, it may be a more lively meeting than I have prepared for !
