Wednesday and Thursday meetings

Last night, along with some of the other members of the West End Local Community Planning Partnership, I met with one of the inspectors from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education (HMIe) as part of the current inspection of Harris Academy - the inspection also covering community learning and development in the Harris cluster area, largely across the West End.   This was a good opportunity for community group representatives and myself to discuss the strengths of community groups' work across the West End, and it was a very positive discussion.

Today, I participated in the City Council's cross-party Job Creation Working Group, where the recent positive progress with V&A Dundee was discussed, as was other aspects of the Waterfront development in the city, attracting renewable industries to Dundee and Dundee's support for RAF Leuchars.
