Last week I visited a number of Harlow Community groups and local businesses. Here's a brief update:
Harlow Postal Sorting Office
My first stop of the day was the Harlow postal sorting office to meet and thank all the men and women for the amount of dedication and hard work they all put into getting our post to us, through all weathers. I enjoyed speaking to everyone including the Manager Sean Watson.
Stansted Airport
Recently I have had concerns about the common travel area and the treatment of disabled passengers at UK airports. During my visit to Stansted Airport I was able to raise both of these issues with the management and staff. First, I was shown the waiting area for passengers needing assistance getting from check in to the plane. Kieran Weir Manager of Customer Services assured me that disabled flyers will receive a significant amount of care. I then had some time to talk to a representative from UKBA, allowing me to raise my concerns over the Common Travel Area where there is a risk that some immigrants have been allowed to come into the country unchecked.
Princess Alexandria Hospital
It is an exciting time at PAH and it is fantastic to see NHS spending rising even during these tough economic times. I was given the great opportunity to see the new Ambulatory Care Unit. This new unit allows patients to receive their treatment while they continue to work and live in their own homes. Also I had the chance to see the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and finally I was able to speak to the staff and patients in the new on site cancer treatment facility.
William Martin School
I dropped in to William Martin Junior School's fete: superb to meet so many staff, parents and children. I joined in with the fun, by drawing the winning tickets for the raffle.
I would like to wish the year 6 boys the best of luck as they represent Essex against schools from London and the Home Counties in February.
