Concluding remarks from Cllr Peter John, Southwark Labour Group Leader
I shall be facilitiating a Working Group on Community Safety and am looking forward to a very positive and productive day!
It is an International weekend and Scotland have two critical games over the next week which will really decide whether we can qualify for the Europen Championships or not, a home game on September 8th against Lithuania and of course an away game in Paris against the French on September 12th. I suppose 4 points out of the six would be a good result but with France and Italy now finding form we really need to consider taking at least one point of the French!! A tough call but difficult in a group with the two World Cup Finalists !!
The Rugby World Cup opens tonight and Scotland play their first game which is against Portugal in St. Etienne on Sunday!
Should be a fairly straightforward win with the All Blacks to come!!
