Another Saturday surgery complete in Felixstowe and grateful to have Cllr Mike Deacon joining me today - talking to residents concerned about SEND, housing, public toilet issues, and a whole host of other casework issues that my team and I will be picking up on Monday.

I recently visited the The Long Shop Museum in Leiston to learn more about its incredible industrial heritage and renewed importance to the local area. This site helped to shape national (and even international) history through innovation in engineering and manufacturing.

A message from the Environment Secretary Steve Reed MP on tackling fly-tipping in Suffolk Coastal.

It’s been a busy week with my SEND campaigning, read about why it matters, and what I’m doing here.

Great to visit Trimley St Martin Primary School recently to see the fantastic work staff are doing to support their pupils, and the all too familiar challenges that they are facing in relation to the SEND crisis.

Lovely to drop into the Grassroots Festival at Eastward Ho! in Felixstowe today. 167 teams from across Suffolk all playing over the Saturday and Sunday - what an amazing festival of sport and community.

What an amazing VE-day celebration in Woodbridge today. The town at its best, and such a privilege to hear the stories of VEday from the voices of Woodbridge residents.

It was an honour to be invited to the official opening and ribbon cutting of the new playpark in Reydon last week.

Last week, I sponsored a Parliamentary briefing on the importance of the farming budget, alongside farming and environmental groups like the NFU - National Farmers' Union, RSPB, and National Trust.

Today we can unite to remember and honour the bravery, sacrifice, and resilience of those who fought for our freedom.

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.

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.

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.
