Monday ...

A long day, starting with a 'day job' meeting at Scottish Government at Victoria Quay, Edinburgh (absolutely beautiful morning - see right!)   

Thereafter, on return to Dundee, I held two surgeries at the Mitchell Street Centre and at Harris Academy and met with constituents in Pentland.  Please note that, after my forthcoming Thursday evening surgery at 6.15pm at Blackness Primary School, I do not have surgeries during the school holidays, but I can be contacted at any time at home on Dundee 459378 or contact surgeries@frasermacpherson.org.uk

Tonight, I attended City Council meetings at which I supported the administration to undertake a review of the school estate across the city including the West End, moved an amendment to support a officer report on housing benefit and welfare reform, questioned the removal of Saturday customer services at the City Square offices, and sought assurances about how best to run community services - including community learning - in the re-organisation of City Council departments.
