Being councillor for Eaglescliffe does bring variety to life.  Having spent a part of the morning being Lib Dem group leader in a meeting discussing, among other things, the possibilities for wheeled sport in the borough and the difficulties of planning enforcement I spent the early part of the afternoon with Alan Lewis and council officers trying to decide on the best way to resolve an issue around overgrown vegetation.on open space, ways to improve quality of life for some residents and then sorting out an uneven footpath.  The rest of the afternoon was spent on putting the finishing touches to the plans for a coffee morning next Friday which will promote Fairtrade and raise funds for Macmillan Nurses. 
Variety is the spice of life!
