I met with Helen Jackson and Lorraine McLaren, both of Glasgow Housing Association. We exchanged information on our respective roles and discussed issues around regeneration in the context of Glasgow. I am interested in how I can develop stronger links with Glasgow on this basis as it fits well with developing an agenda around tackling child poverty – particularly in those areas where there are concentrations of high incidence. I do not expect to progress this in any way until the completion of consultations on the Strategic Plan and a RIGHT blether, after which further consideration can be given to the issues raised.
I was interviewed for The Grid – a publication distributed to all children in Glasgow on a quarterly basis. I expect my interview to come out in the Spring 2011issue.
