- finding out more about how bloggs work

 - uploading a link from my website – www.johnhumphries.net.

-  replying to email from the Local Government Urban Commission, (a body which considers urban issues of relevance to local councils). If you want to know what they do, just bash ‘urban commission’ into the search facility on www.lga.gov.uk

Spent a couple of hours doing the ‘skim and bin’ treatment on back copies of local government publications, then wrote up notes of ffice:smarttags" />Labour Group media meeting held on Friday.

I got my first five comments on the blog yesterday,  sadly they all seemed to be from from Bart Simpsons brother, so I then got to learn how to delete comments from a blog. Went to the Constituency Party meeting in the evening in St Leonards

I went to ffice:smarttags" />London today to attend a course titled Mentoring for Councillors.

In June this year there will be hundreds of new councillors coming into elected office who will miraculously be expected to just know what to do and have all the skills and support they need to run fully functioning local democratic structures.

Modern councils needs to address this issue through better skills and knowledge based training plus mentoring programmes where requested.

I deleted the photo from yesterdays entry because it was too large for the page.
