- First past the post!
Launched our Governance, Neighbourhoods and Service Delivery research in Scotland at a well attended APSE seminar at Hamilton Racecourse today.

Hopefully we will be more successful in this agenda than on my occasional failed attempts at predicting the winners of horse races.
