Life goes on...

Although we are in the midst of a general election campaign I still have Council duties to attend to.

Last night I chaired a meeting of the Council's Shared Campus Working Group - in between ferrying my son and 3 of his teammates to and from a football match in Paisley - and tonight I chaired a meeting of the Clune Park Task Group.

The shared campus group received an update presentation from the architects on their developing design proposals. Over the next few months they will consult with the various stakeholder groups - pupils, staff, parents, councillors, churches, community - to ensure that they have an opportunity to influence the design of the campus. This really is a very exciting project to be involved in.

At the Clune Park group tonight we received an update on ongoing discussions with the Scottish Government to try to agree a joint strategy for the area. I am hopeful that the Minister for Communities, Alex Neil, will visit Clune Park before the summer to see the area for himself and
discuss the way forward.

Tomorrow night it is back to campaigning. Only 8 days to go!
