A moment for poignant reflection today at #Felixstowe #veday80 torch event. Remembering all those who gave their lives in WW2. 112 torches to commemorate the 112 lives taken from Felixstowe.

If you’d like to discuss any issues or need support, please request an appointment at one of the various sessions that I’ll be holding across the constituency.

I was glad to facilitate a meeting between Toothless in England campaigner and local constituent, together with the Minister for Care, Stephen Kinnock last week.

Last week, I had a fantastic visit to Saxmundham Primary School. Like so many other schools across Suffolk Coastal, Saxmundham Primary is facing a SEND crisis that is pushing the school’s service to breaking point.

Last week I wrote to the Leader of Suffolk County Council and the Cabinet lead for Education to urge them to take urgent action to increase capacity for SEND provision within Suffolk.

It was a real pleasure to welcome the Mayor of Felixstowe, Felixstowe Town Council, Level Two Youth Project and the Bürgermeisterin (Mayor) of Wesel to Parliament this week.

I recently attended the Dementia Awareness Roadshow at Yoxford Village Hall — a fantastic community event bringing together local organisations dedicated to supporting those living with dementia, their families, and carers.

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.

Over the easter break I've put forward a number of amendments to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Its a really important Bill that will help unlock our ambition to build the homes we need, and drive forward economic growth.

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.
