A Promise?
I can also assure you that I will not have just fine words
rather news of tangible action that is planned to start to resolve some of
these issues from August 2003 onwards. As stated previously I am aware of
the problems and have been taking action within BT to raise the profile of
this city. I do now have specific action planned which should start to make
a difference in 2003.
If you wish to bring along anyone else please let me know.
Look forward to seeing you soon.
Regards
