Press update ...

* This morning's Courier and Press and Journal covered my concerns over the future of Ward 6 at Royal Victoria Hospital - see http://tinyurl.com/ward6rvh.

* This evening's Evening Telegraph notes my welcome for nearly £60 000 of funding for a new community and arts centre at Dundee Rail Station, but
I also point out the need for substantial investment to improve the station, particularly as it is adjacent to the site of the proposed V&A in Dundee.

* Tomorrow's press will report on Dundee Councillors' Salaries and Expenses for 2009/10. Dundee's two Liberal Democrat councillors - Helen Dick and myself - have the lowest salary/expenses of all councillors across the city in 2009/10. Along with two of the three Conservative councillors, we did not accept the last pay increase, given the financial challenges facing the City Council. Neither Helen or I have claimed any expenses, throughout our time on Dundee City Council.
