Phew, all 47 pages printed out in neat piles waiting for binding. They’re of my report on car parking in Lightwater village centre, seeking improved car parking provision and an enhanced street scene.

I’ve just spoken to the chairman of the committee to reserve a slot in the public discussion that takes place at the beginning of the meeting. Ah, the pleasure to come in handing over copies of the report.

First part of job done – making the case. Now the hard part – obtaining support and securing priority action. Wish me luck.
