I’m looking forward to my first Supermarket Surgery in Haverhill this evening. It’s vital for me to do my job as Haverhill’s MP to hear from my constituents directly. Normal surgeries are important for getting into details with one person, but lots of people might not even think to contact their MP.
St Nicholas Hospice does incredible work providing support to people in Haverhill, and their families, who are living with a life threatening illness. This can be anything from cancer to heart disease.
For the past two years a group of local ladies have spent their Friday mornings picking up litter in West Suffolk. They call themselves THE RUBBISH FRIENDS and have high-viz jackets to prove it!
My heartfelt condolences are with the families and comrades of the airmen killed in the RAF Lakenheath helicopter crash. Lakenheath is a close-knit community, and I know that this tragic loss of life will be deeply felt.
On Friday 10th January I will be holding the first of many Supermarket Surgeries this year in the Tesco Metro store in Brandon between 5.30 and 6.30pm.
In a survey of its readers the Haverhill Echo has found that more than 80% of respondents would be unwilling to face an increase in their Council Tax. I can understand why.
Matthew Hancock, MP for West Suffolk and Elizabeth Truss, MP for South West Norfolk will hold a public meeting on Friday 10 January about the proposed Brandon relief road.
