BROUGHTON SUNSET:—Early again.

As you read this, advance copies of the February Spurtle are already fanning out across the barony like invitations to a Downing Street after-work work meeting for people who won’t be doing any work at it.

LOCALS DISCUSS FUTURE USES

Twenty-eight people attended last night’s online meeting held by the Better Broughton group to discuss the future of Picardy Place.

Among them were three City Centre councillors: Karen Doran (vice-convener of the Transport & Environment Cmte), Joanna Mowat, and Claire Miller.

Paused in St Mary's Episcopal this morning for brief moment of quiet and reflection.
