Thank you to constituents for contacting me about ocean protection. 

Today (19 October 2023), in the House of Commons Chamber, I participated in Oral Parliamentary Questions to the Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs. 

I initially asked ‘What steps her Department is taking to protect rural communities in flood-risk areas?’

A four-week public consultation gets underway today (Thursday 19 October 2023) on the Smithfield Riverside regeneration project in Shrewsbury town centre.

Shropshire Council’s Northern planning committee is set to meet at 2pm on Tuesday 31 October 2023 to consider the planning application for the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road.

Congratulations to The Third Place which is based in Frankwell, Shrewsbury who have just won 'Restaurant of the Year' at this years' National Curry Awards.  I was pleased to join them at the ceremony in London to see them receive their award.  

Thank you to constituents that have contacted me with their concerns over the current situation in Israel. 

I am pleased to announce that Transport Secretary Mark Harper has confirmed that the government will fund the full cost of the North West Relief Road following the Prime Minister's announcement that funding from cancelled HS2 link will be redistributed to support local transport projects. 

I welcome the Prime Minister's  announcement that he would be cancelling part of the high-speed rail line and instead diverting the £36 billion earmarked for local transport projects in the North and Midlands. 

Thank you to the many constituents that have contacted me about fireworks and the impact they have on animals.

I am pleased to report that the government is to invest a further £1,490,492 in bus services across Shropshire.  This additional funding to Shropshire Council will mean that our area has benefitted from a total of £2,980,984 in funding  to support bus services since 2022.
