Another busy and fully booked surgery in Felixstowe yesterday with local Councillor Mike Deacon, supporting residents on a wide range of issues health and social care, ASB, banking hubs and much more.

Lovely to hold an advice surgery in sunny Reydon last night - lots of important things talked about, and lots for my team and I to do. Thank you to everyone who came in to chat, and for sharing some quite personal stories.

C.A.R.N.I.V.A.L  people!

I want to hear from you about your experiences with local bus services - whether it’s a route you rely on, one that’s been cut, or a “ghost route” that no longer runs.

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.

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.

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.

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

Reminder for home educated young people in Suffolk Coastal - I’m hosting a special Parliament tour on 16th July for those who are home educated - and there are still spaces available.

Suffolk Coastal gets a shout out in Emmanuel Macron Presidential address! Well - we're playing a leading role in the French-Anglo relations...

Big news yesterday with the announcement of new Best Start Family Hubs - designed to give every child the best start in life and provide joined-up support for families.

Today the Department for Transport announced major new funding for road and rail upgrades across the country, including critical improvements to the A12 here in Suffolk Coastal. This is something I’ve raised repeatedly in Westminster.

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.

If a week is a long time in politics, a year is a lifetime. It’s been a journey, but always a privilege - to have the chance to represent the place that I love most.

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!
