Regeneration and the local economy

Had a visit today from the Director of CLES Neil McEnroy and one of the new policy offiers there Nicola Carroll who is a good friend. We spent a useful few hours talking about how we can collaborate together as organisations and agreed a list of around five issues that could be further developed jointly.

I am impressed with Neil who has no airs or graces about him and says what he means, unlike half of the people who you meet on the London circuit who are false, pretencious and patronising. Perhaps its because Neils a fellow Scot, but I definetly get the feeling that we will do further work together as organisations.
