Hello, and welcome to my fifth Blog as the Lord Provost of Dundee.

It has been another busy month for myself, the Depute Lord Provost and the Civic Office with a wide variety of different commitments and duties taking place across the month of October.

I was delighted to start the month off with a very positive civic reception in the City Chambers for our city’s 2022 Commonwealth Games Gold Medalists; Eilish McColgan and Sam Hickey. This led on to a very interesting array of activities throughout the month where I met a great many people contributing to our city in their own positive yet different ways.

I thoroughly enjoyed the latest exhibition that the wonderful V&A Dundee has put on, that being entitled “Plastic: Remaking Our World”. I thought that it was stunningly impressive and certainly made me not only consider plastic as a major material in my daily life but brought back distant and pleasant memories of plastic furniture that I once purchased for my home many years ago. The orange coloured desk and the circular shaped wireless are but two of the many items that I really liked.

I have now been some five months in Post and by the end of October I have done 147 various events.

Activities over the past month included:

For updates as they occur, the latest Lord Provost news and activities are available on both Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you for taking the time to read this Post and I hope to update you further on my civic responsibilities in the future through my November blog.
