The House of Commons sat on a Saturday for the first time since 1982 to consider the new Brexit deal that Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his team have negotiated in Brussels. I thought it would be helpful to set out why I support the Prime Minister’s deal. 

Very pleased to see that the Forest of Dean District Council have been approved to acquire the Five Acres site.

The rollout of Fibre broadband to the premises continues in the Forest of Dean and thanks to the partnership between Fastershire and Gigaclear - Ultrafast Fibre Broadband, I was pleased to see the latest cabinet being unveiled in Tibberton.

Recently, I had the pleasure of going to the Ashleworth village shop and post office and meeting the new owners, Amy and Simon.

Conservatives have used last week’s Party Conference to set out a positive vision for the UK after Brexit. This realises the opportunities of leaving the EU to strengthen our NHS with increased frontline spending, raise funding for schools, and tackle crime.

This week, the Conservative Party held our annual Party Conference in Manchester, setting out how the Government will continue to strengthen our economy and create opportunity for all.

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting with Charlie’s, a community group set-up to benefit the Health & Wellbeing of anyone affected by Cancer, at any stage.
