Windy Monday ...

Just before my Monday surgeries at the Mitchell Street Centre and at Harris Academy late this afternoon, I took part in a site visit on Magdalen Green with a colleague from Friends of Magdalen Green and with council officers to look at various issues following cycle path work recently. To say it was windy on the Green would be understatement of the year - and the effects of today's wind was evident to see right across the city, not least at the back of the City Chambers in Crichton Street tonight - see right.

At tonight's City Council committees, I asked questions at the Education Committee about the future support for primary schools in tackling parking problems near school entrances and at City Development Committee questioned the very significant costs associated with utility diversion works at the Waterfront and also sought assurances about the future robustness of public transport real time information systems across the city.
