Today I attended three important meetings.

First, I met with Laura (our Voluntary Transport scheme co-ordinator), Sarah Mathieson of Roundabout Transport and Ann Donata of Hertsmere Community Transport. We talked about how we can best collaborate to strengthen and support each other’s services. We concluded with a commitment to meet again and discuss the possibility of drawing up a voluntary transport framework for south-west Hertfordshire. This is rather ambitious but it is needed and is perfectly achievable.

Secondly, over lunch, I met with Watford’s elected Mayor Dorothy Thornhill and Chair of the Council Jan Brown to examine nominations for this year’s Audentior Awards and help take some decisions.

Finally, in the evening I attended the latest meeting of the Watford Community Arts Network to discuss the Watford LIVE! festival planned for this June. Thankfully, Marv had returned from Wales and had hit the ground running sorting stuff out.
