Went with a some Uni students to see Eddie Izzard speak in support of the Labour Party. A great way to spend and afternoon.
Eddie was really refreshing, not too much gas and very straight forward, he should be standing for election.....

What's on in the Ward
Things are stepping up with the snow gone and the evenings getting lighter.
I spent an interesting evening consulting residents in the Ward about issues that affect them. Had to stop in the end as a; it was getting too dark and b; Tea overload.
On a different note I have spent time talking to the Students' Union and various students about their housing concerns. It was very interesting to see and hear the problems that Students at Uni face. I have always been keen on improving housing. I cannot believe that some of the Landlords allow their houses to get in to such a bad state. One student was telling me that they have to wear shoes inside all the time as every room has a leak in it and the carpets are always damp. Nice. I took the issue up with the Students' Union to understand their view.
I was pleased to see that some of the pressure which I have been bringing on the Uni and elsewhere is bearing fruit. The Uni has organised for a big clean up in Go Green week, not just for the Uni but also for the Grange Road area.
I wish them a lot of luck and am so pleased to see the Uni trying to engage the local area.
