Yesterday was a jam-packed constituency day, as I had a range of visits. First was to Roydon, to meet some local residents in Kingsmead Hill, who are concerned about the state of the fences and undergrowth. I will be working with the residents and local council to get the area improved.
I then went to Greenbrook Industries (just off Edinburgh Way), an electrical safety company. It was good to visit another Harlow business, especially with so many Harlow residents as employees. Whilst I was there, I had a long discussion with representatives of the Electrical Safety Council. They are doing a lot of work to promote electrical safety around the UK, and I hope to work with them re some schemes in Harlow.
A fascinating part of the day was a tour of the new Leisure Zone. It is an incredible place with the best that sports can offer. The quality of equipment and the beauty of the building, is a tribute to all those involved over many years.

Also on my time-table was a meeting with Holy Cross Pre-School and then Vicky Cooledge from Raytheon, who has been campaigning for CCTV around the Hydes Underpass to the Town. I am glad that the Council have responded and there should be something in place later in the year.
I was also particularly pleased to visit St Clare Hospice and meet the staff and patients. It was good to go to the day-centre in particular, especially as some of the patients were enjoying a good pint of Guinness! The picture shows me with Marcus, who is savouring a good pint. Every time I go the Hospice, it improves in some way or another and it remains a very special place of tranquility and sanctuary for those suffering from terminal illness.
One of the privileges of being an MP, is to have the chance to visit and support so many constituency organisations, so I always look forward to Fridays.
