Why did I mention the weather? At least the rain didn't stop a very good turnout for the memorial service in Winchester for firefighters Alan Bannon and James Shears. The cathedral was full and the ceremony was very moving. Bagpipes played well are always a haunting sound and the banners of all the country's fire and rescue services made a colourful and very impressive tribute. Let's hope it's a long time before we have another such event.
Next week is the 'topping out' ceremony at our new station in Southampton. The building is looking great and its now less than a year before we will be in. With the other developments such as Guildhall Square coming on well and all the work on improving some of the city centre roads I think we can see the start of a real transformation for the City. I hope we don't forget the outlying areas though. I was at Holy Family Primary School Millbrook yesterday. Their recent developments have created some great accommodation and the kids there were certainly not put off their sports by a bit of rain.
