Finance, Bus Stops and Shelters, Community Council

Most of day on day job but did meet with Chief Executive, Finance Officers and the Council Leader - monthly finance meeting. Spoke with constituent about lack of bus timetable at the stop and complete lack of a shelter at Seabraes (south side near to where Nethergate becomes Perth Road) - its a really good point - the shelter would really help in this really exposed site.

More bus matters raised at Community Council (that's West End one - the first of two Community Councils this week - City Centre & Harbour on Thursday) - one lady mentioned lack of replacement stop on south side Perth Road at Step Row during the meeting (I have already raised this with the Council) and on the way out at 9.15pm, another lady pointed out lack of timetable further east at Kings Fabrics Shop. Will get all this reported tomorrow.

Community Council meeting well worthwhile with talks on the smoking ban implications (from Environmental Health & Trading Standards) and on adult education in the West End from Leisure & Communities. A few other local issues to follow up tomorrow.
