Busy day today, started early with an excellent business breakfast with the Cheif Executive of the Portland Harbour Authority, a chap called Steve who actually lives in Lisvane, Cardiff! Where I was brought up!

I found this out by accident because he was telling us of a fabulous bit of local news....Hilton Hotels are going to build a floating Hotel in Portland Harbour and he's having a bit of a battle with W&PBC over planning issues. He's in charge of anything that floats so he should be in charge but the Planning dept are challenging that because they don't enjoy progress. With this info I suggested that he gets the whole planning dept on a bus and took them to Cardiff to see the docks. At that point he told me he lived there!

Lets hope W&PBC wake up to positive progress!
