Christopher Pincher MP congratulates County Council on delivering the 1,000th food parcel to the vulnerable

Speaking to the Tamworth Herald, Christopher Pincher MP said:

Today the Chancellor announced a new 'bounce back' loans scheme.  This is a 100% Government backed loan scheme which will enable small businesses borrow up to £50,000 and access the cash within days. 

The Prime Minister returned to the podium today - he had an important message for us all, you can read his statement in full below.

I know there has been a number of new births over the past few weeks but not all parents have yet been able to register the birth.

While registry offices continue to run, demand is high and so some registration processes are taking longer than normal.  

During the Covid19 outbreak, some of the regular sessions people have been used to attending for basic activities like learning how to cook are no longer taking place. 

I know a number of you who would ordinarily work but have been asked to shield due to being in a high-risk group have ran into difficulties, particularly if your job role cannot be amended for you to work from home.

I am receiving a lot of correspondence on furlough so I wanted to explain a little more about it and how it may help you.

Yesterday the Chancellor unveiled a Budget that delivers on our promises to the British people to level up our whole United Kingdom and spread opportunity across every community. 

I understand that there are many working families across Tamworth who are not currently claiming support they can receive from the Government to help them with child care.

A number of you will know that I regularly raise issues with the DWP both locally and nationally about the challenges some residents face when having to attend multiple face to face assessments in Birmingham for their benefits.
