Roz was on the High Street doing surveys yesterday.

I think our support is still extremely high which will be wonderful for when we start surveying the traders over the next two weeks. We have 73 shops in Banchory and many of them are parts of chains, so we may have some hard work ahead of us.

The secretary to Maureen Watt, the Minister for Schools in Scotland [who happens to live in Banchory], contacted me today to lend her support to the scheme which will be wonderful.

I think the Minister must have seen the campaign in the STV news report yesterday. We were featured in the morning, lunch and evening news. The report was well done and managed to cover the main points of why BbC had started the campaign as well as interviewing people on the street. No negative views!
