Last week, Anglian Water discharged 41 HOURS of sewage into the River Deben, between the waterfront and Melton. As a result of the discharge, E.coli levels were 30 TIMES the recommended levels.

Last week, I met with residents in Thorpeness to discuss the urgent impact of coastal erosion, which has claimed 5 metres of coastline in just 6 weeks.

🚌 I’ve launched a new survey on local bus services - because too many rural communities in Suffolk Coastal are being left behind.

Last week I officially opened my new constituency office in Felixstowe - delivering on my commitment to make sure people across Suffolk Coastal can access help and be heard.

I had a brilliant visit to Melton Primary School and Nursery yesterday, and spoke about the SEND issues the school is facing, and had a brilliant tour of the school - led by the excellent Student Council. Thanks for having me!

I recently visited Coldfair Green Primary School and had the pleasure of spending time with the students and staff. It’s always inspiring to see young people so eager to learn and engage with the world around them.

🚊 Join me TOMORROW to shape the future of Trimley Station. I’ll be chairing a public meeting to explore exciting possibilities for Trimley Station.

I recently visited Aldeburgh Primary School Avocet Academy and had the pleasure of taking part in their morning assembly. It was fantastic to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm from the students - so many brilliant questions.

🚜 Are you a resident living in a rural area? The Labour Rural Research Group wants to hear from you.

Out this morning in a very sunny Felixstowe, chatting to lots of residents about issues including SEND, roads and potholes, and a lot more besides. Lots of case work to follow up with, and lots of conversations I'll take back to parliament.

A lovely way to spend the morning on Suffolk Day - with residents in Bucklesham and Newbourne - talking about all the local, regional and national priorities that matter most to residents.

This week we delivered the last of the 15,000 Suffolk Coastal magazines, giving an update on my work in parliament and in the constituency over the past few months.

Thanks to everyone who came along to my fully booked advice surgery in Leiston last night. We covered a whole range of the usual - and some not quite so usual topics.

If you’ve been in Felixstowe lately, you may have noticed that the signs have gone up at my new constituency office on Hamilton Road.

Great to visit RNLI Aldeburgh Lifeboat and meet some of the incredible volunteers who give their time to help keep people safe at sea and on our rivers.

Earlier this week I met with Ukrainian families living in Suffolk Coastal - to hear more about the realities of war in Ukraine, and the importance of supporting the efforts to stand up to Russia.

A brilliant day at the Suffolk Show - celebrating everything that makes our County so special, from local food, farming and livestock, to crafts, rural businesses, military displays and so much more.

It was a real pleasure to visit A.S.Neill's Summerhill School - one of the most distinctive and historic schools in the UK.

It was great to visit Reydon Primary School and spend time with the team who are working so hard to support their pupils and the wider community.

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Rebecca, who has just moved into her first home with her son, in Martlesham. Her home is a brilliant example of good quality, affordable housing, built to help local people either get on the housing ladder through shared ownership, or get an affordable home to rent through Hastoe Housing Association.
