I recently attended the opening of the new temporary banking hub in Leiston — a vital step in supporting our community as Leiston’s final bank branch prepares to close on Friday 2nd May.

I've submitted an appeal to LINK to overturn their decision that denied Felixstowe a banking hub, following the closures of Santander and Halifax.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Easyblinds in Southwold and seeing the brilliant work they’re doing right here in our community. We talked about how they’ve grown the business from a small start up to a business that operates across the globe.

Lovely to join Litter-free Felixstowe this morning for a litter pick, and an excuse to walk off my excess Easter chocolate consumption...! Great to see so many, of all ages, out and getting involved.

Last week I met with members of Trimley St Mary Parish Council to discuss the local issues and priorities affecting the community – including road safety, and playing facilities.

This week I visited the Job Club at the Salvation Army Felixstowe, Church and Community Centre, a fantastic event that’s held regularly to support people into work.

I recently had the chance to visit the incredible Level Two Youth Project  in Felixstowe. What an amazing space and community – 24 years working with young people, and changing young people’s lives in Felixstowe.

I recently visited Cotman House Residential Home in Felixstowe, to meet with staff and residents. It was great to see the high quality of care and support that residents receive, as well as the excellent facilities such as their dementia friendly cinema.

I had a great time visiting Kyson Primary School last week, on their last day of term for Easter.

I loved visiting Benhall St Mary's CofE Primary recently. School visits are so often the best part of this job – the young students are always so impressive, articulate and bright – thanks for showing me around – and I’m looking forward to welcoming the students to Parliament in the summer.

Suffolk Coastal has been picked to host two new school-based nurseries at Reydon Primary School and Waldringfield Primary School.

We’re lucky to have Latitude Festival right here in our constituency, and this year, they’re hosting a poetry competition for children with the theme of "friendship."

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of welcoming Minister Jim McMahon from Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to BT's Adastral Park.

Last Friday, I v isited Saxmundham Health  Centre to see firsthand how local, integrated care can make a real difference for patients and...

On Friday, I met with the Fire Brigades Union in woodbridge to hear directly from firefighters about their vital work.

I had the pleasure of visiting Coastal Accessible Transport Services (CATS) a few weeks ago.

Another Friday advice surgery this afternoon - this one held in the Tesco cafe at Martlesham Heath.

Along with other Suffolk MPs, I have today written to Suffolk County Council to ask them to open their decision on Suffolk Libraries.
