An extremely busy surgery yesterday with a wide range of issues from constituents. This week I also opened the Salvation Army Flower show in Stockton, met with the Council to discuss a range of issues, arranged a meeting with the Stockton Hackney Drivers’ Association, Spoke at a meeting of the Stockton Business Forum, and met with Councillors in Yarm.

I took part in the Battle of Britain service in Thornaby this afternoon. It was well attended, with local Councillors and residents turning out to show their respects. The service was followed by the laying of crosses on war graves in the cemetery.
