Friday's Constituency Activities

Yesterday I had my second surgery as MP, this time at the Latton Bush Centre. We are currently looking for a suitable office in Harlow which will make things a little easier, and will be used by myself and Caseworkers to assist local residents.

I also intend to have surgeries all around Harlow and the villages, so as to make it as easy as possible for residents to meet with me. Our surgery lasted three hours and reminded me just how important an MPs role is in helping constituents with any difficulties they may face.

The Surgery followed a day of activities including meeting with Harlow Renaissance to talk about the Town Centre Regeneration and with Peter Martin, Leader of Essex County Council to discuss my campaign for a Road bypass to the M11. We also looked at the Essex Council Apprenticeship Programme, which has a number of Apprentices in Harlow, including Harlow College. I would like to see this excellent programme expanded. The more opportunities for Apprentices, the better.

P.S. On Thursday evening, I was very pleased to spend time at the Jack Petchey Performing Arts festival at Harlow Playhouse. I had been asked to present Awards to a remarkable range of performing artists. It was a fabulous evening with Harlow showcasing the very best that performing arts can offer. It was a proud moment for Harlow.
