Turning into a busy week

Had a busy Monday evening with a meeting with environmental and horticultural groups and trying to understand how they might be able to help a future Conservative Council improve services. Very good meeting with some really positive ideas around social enterprise and the provision of public services. I cannot believe the lack of entrepreneurial spirit of this Council. Not only does nothing happen but they do nothing to encourage others to provide services for them.

Tuesday evening was spent canvassing. Difficult job on dark evenings in October as the elderly are clearly less keen to even open the doors. Good reception when we did speak to people.

During the day had a fascinating charities round table at the Centre or Social Justice, the new think tank started by Ian Duncan Smith. Discussing the new Charities Bill.
