Monday’s DCC Council meeting was very interesting (especially on housing). Please engage with the two important transport strategies affecting our town, and don’t forget to support High Force. Minimum Unit Pricing of alcohol is also worth discussion. In the meantime, 8 March is International Women’s Day, and 11 March is Mothering Sunday.
All this week’s stories are on the internet and you can find out more about them on my blog here: bit.ly/CNB282
