BUSY, BUSY.....

After a very busy week last week - phone in, Pan Partnership Board meeting, Downside headteacher appointment preparations - this coming week will be even busier.

Apart from the actual appointment process for the Headteacher, which will take 3 days, there is a Cabinet meeting and a Full Council, followed by a public meeting on the new Island Plan, and then a meeting to look at the development plan for the Pan Village scheme.

The Cabinet will be seek to appoint a 'Change Agent' to prepare the ground for privatisation of Council services - Labour opposes. At the Full Council I have tabled three questions relating to Pan and Newport - on Furrlongs plans, the 'red carpet' in Newport, and problems of drinking on Downside Recreation Ground. The Island Plan is about how the IW will be developed over the next 20 years, so important that people have input. Finally I will be seeking a scaled down housing development from what has been talked about so far.

I will update on each of these meetings throughout the week.
