Spent Monday tied up in Council meetings for most of the time, mainly around the proposed Kingston theatre and then a meeting of the Conservative group of councillors in the evening.
Tuesday I attended the launch of the Conservative proposals for tackling third world aid and the role of the Department for International Development.
The launch was at the Centre for Social Justice at Hawkstone Hall. This is a very interesting church opposite Lambeth North tube station. It is the site where William Wilberforce started the Anti Slavery Movement, Lord Shaftesbury helped establish the Ragged Schools and the family of Abraham Lincoln built a tower in his honour. All were Conservatives. At this place is now the Centre for Social Justice, a Conservative centre looking at issues around poverty and creating a socially just world.
Tuesday was the annual state of the Borough debate at Kingston Council.
