Are you home educated, or a home educator in Suffolk Coastal? And, would you like a tour of parliament? I often host tours for schools in my constituency but I am now really excited to extend it to home educated young people living in Suffolk Coastal too.

Last week I convened and hosted a meeting with UK Power Networks and Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape, and local residents around Felixstowe ferry, to discuss the ongoing issues about local cabling.

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.

A constituent reached out to me for assistance in securing their e-visa following unexplained delays at the Home Office. I was able to get in contact with the Home Office and find out what was causing the delays.

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.

An update from the commons on today's recall and saving British Steel:

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.

The recent Planning and Infrastructure Bill is not just about development; it’s about ensuring that growth and nature can coexist, with neither holding the other back. Read more in my latest EADT column.

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

🏖️ In East Suffolk, the tourism industry is worth an estimated £693million. I flagged the importance of the industry in our region to Minister Chris Bryant MP who reiterated the need for us to make sure it is not just cities that are the focus for the targeted 50million international visitors by 2030.

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.
