The week ahead...

Monday
A full day at work. In the evening I will be attending a meeting of the Woodhall Task Group in the St Stephen's Enterprise Centre. Meetings have switched to this venue following the closure of Trees Tops Nursery at the end of June. The main issues on the agenda are an update on the proposed phase two of new housing by River Clyde Homes and the new community facility and MUGA. I have had to tender my apologies for a meeting of Kilmacolm Parent Partnership, which is on at the same time as the Task Group. My Labour colleague James McColgan will attend the Parent Partnership meeting.

In the evening I have a surgery in Kilmacolm Community Centre followed by a meeting of Kilmacolm Community Council.
