* On Thursday morning, I took part in the second Harris Academy Project Board that will oversee the Harris Academy rebuilding project.
* In the afternoon, I attended part of the City Council's Housing Best Value Review Group, at which I raised questions regarding the performance of the City Council in re-letting empty council houses, an issue I have previously raised at the council's Scrutiny Committee.
* Thereafter, I chaired the first meeting of the West End Christmas Week 2011 committee. Early days in planning this year's Christmas Week, but great progress and enthusiasm!
