Project management and County Waste plan

This evening it was a training session on Project Management - I thought I might actually fall asleep in the first half-an-hour and was cursing that I had given up a precious evening - but things significantly improved and when we got onto how to do Project Management then there were some very useful ideas and models that are readily applicable - examples like the Dursley supermarket were considered - not one of the more successful projects due to many factors - made the point that Greens didn't think the project should have been embarked on in the first place - and certainly wont lead to more jobs - anyway it was interesting to see how certain key factors might have led to problems there - it is good to see Stroud adopting this approach to their projects.

Also today got a press release off re the County's Waste Strategy - haven't mentioned that in these pages but earlier in the month a fair bit of time was devoted to looking at issues in the consultation paper - not yet having Greens on the County Council make it more difficult to highlight these issues but look like we might be able to have some input.
