At half past six there's a Special Council meeting to agree which developer the Council is going to choose as its partner to redevelop the north of the Town Centre - a job everyone agrees is very much needed.
This decision has to be taken behind closed doors, because it contains a lot of information that's 'commercially sensitive' - so one of my first duties as Chairman is to read the paragraph of legal gobbledegook which basically means "you have to leave now". We also need to remember not to use our microphones, as they can be heard in the overspill area next door!
We then have a fairly brief meeting - most of the questions councillors want to ask and comments they want to make have already been aired at previous committee meetings - and the Council appoints Stockland Halladale as its 'preferred bidder'.
The regeneration of Town Centre North is now a significant step closer.
