Busy Wednesday ...

As well as a large number of constituent issues and problems to deal with yesterday I also :

* Attended a very interesting briefing by the City Council on the proposed "Winter Light Night" in Dundee - taking place on Friday 27th November. The evening will offer exciting entertainment, both visual and aural mixing light and music against a backdrop of street markets, performance and entertainment, street art, illuminations, torchlight processions, heritage walks, story telling, late opening shopping and cultural venues.

Winter Light
Night will take place during this year's West End Christmas Week and as the activities will take place in Tay Square and around DCA/Sensation as well as across the City Centre, its hoped that many West End residents will attend and participate. More on this in the coming weeks ...

* Following on from the continuiung concerns about the unsafe pathway at the former Homebase site I raised again earlier this week (click on headline to view more), I had a very useful meeting with one of the City Council's solicitors about the issue. He is looking into all aspects of the situation and will in the near future be in a position to provide a full legal opinion. I am anxious that the temporary pathway is replaced with a safer, less claustrophobic, path, I hope before the darker winter nights arrive.
