Since last time, it's been a busy old week.
Tuesday and Wednesday saw over 600 leaflets dropping through the doors of Craigmount.
Thursday saw me scoot round Drum Brae North after work followed by a trip to the Drum Brae Leisure Centre to catch up with the West Neighbourhood Lothian & Borders Police who were hosting a 'raising awareness' open evening. It was good to chat to the officers in attendance and find out more about what they are doing to keep crime at the welcome low levels in Drum Brae / Gyle.

One thing I have noticed though since the beginning of January, the campaign is making the bathroom scales talk nicer to me!
Half a stone off so far leads me to think that I maybe need a campaign slogan....How about "Gain Vote - Lose Pounds".
