Considering how long it has been since my last post, I think an obvious New Year's resolution for me must be to update this site a bit more often - along with my usual resolution to give up smoking (again) and be generally more healthy. The week between Christmas and New Year was quite restful for me - a chance to catch up on sleep, if not paperwork (which I don't think I will ever be fully up to date with unless I employ someone to help me with it!) but things are starting to get back to normal now, and the diary is beginning to fill up again.

There are some interesting scrutiny reviews coming up - one proposed by Transportation on Building Bus Use (there was a very good review last month on Travelling to School, but I can't help but think we need one on Travelling to Work as well), and a review on Anti Social Behaviour for Local Services Scrutiny which will start soon. I'm hopeful that this year will see some interesting developments in Kingstanding as well - there are a lot of projects starting, changing or opening soon which will have some real impact on the area so I am trying to keep on top of things as much as possible for now.
