In case you are surprised by the name at the end of this, Rosie Ilett had to step down because of pressure of work. Many thanks are due to her for everything she did during her tenure and, particularly, for seeing us through the General Election.
So I have taken over until the AGM. It feels a bit like having come full circle as, if I remember correctly, my first official role in a local party was much the same – only in those days it was Maryhill and we were simply the Liberal Party.

Councillors Mary Paris and Alex Dingwall were on hand on Saturday 17th July 2010 for the official opening of the new community centre in Wyndford. The new centre opened in the former Wyndford and St Gregory’s Primaries which the City’s Labour administration closed last year in the face of fierce community opposition.
The new centre will provide sports and fitness facilities, a learning centre, computer gaming areas, a stage and café. The centre is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 9.15am to 9.30pm. While still wanting to see a new local school built in Wyndford the Councillors were delighted to see the vacant buildings being turned into a new community resource and Councillor Paris was quick to secure space for a local surgery in the building.
