Yesterday the government announced the biggest overhaul of water regulation in decades. Ofwat will be scrapped and replaced with a new, powerful regulator to take on pollution, protect customers, and restore trust in the system.

Last week I invited Newtide Homes (part of Flagship) out with me and my casework team to join me door knocking in Felixstowe on a few roads where there are quite a few Newtide residents.

Out knocking on doors and talking to residents today in #Leiston - thanks to everyone who spoke to me and my volunteer team. We managed to finish just as the rain arrived - talk about good luck!

☕ This morning I held another coffee morning - this time in Yoxford. It was great to meet with nearly 50 residents, talking about what matters to them – Sizewell C, road safety, connectivity and rural issues in general.

Yesterday I was pleased to attend and speak at the Harwich Clean Energy & Maritime Summer Reception, bringing together maritime businesses, port users and energy leaders from across Harwich, Felixstowe and the wider eastern region.

This morning I spoke to BBC Suffolk about my new Parliamentary petition calling for action on road safety outside primary schools in Suffolk Coastal.

On Monday I chaired the latest meeting of the APPG for Ports and Maritime, where we looked at the future of UK ports and some of the key challenges and opportunities facing the sector.

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.

It was great to meet Sam Porter from Lowestoft Foodbank in Parliament recently, following a previous visit to their Saxmundham base earlier this year.

I recently met with Baroness Taylor of Stevenage OBE, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, to raise concerns about rising rents in Leiston.

Too many schools are surrounded by fast traffic, poor signage, and unsafe crossings - and I hear the same concern again and again from headteachers, staff, and parents: it’s putting children at risk.
