This Friday I had the opportunity to stop in and visit the Crafty Two, a great new pub in Tamworth.  The pub is adjacent to the assembly rooms on Corporation Street.  This should be an easy pub to find, offering meals, drinks (alcoholic and non), a function room and even board games for people st

Today I was in Harlaston where I organised and chaired the NFU rural crime round table.

Many thanks to the 1st Stoneydelph Brownies for sending me your #plasticpromise! This is part of Girlguiding’s Future Girl Acts week which this year focuses on plastic pollution.

This weekend the residents of Streetly and Little Aston held a Eco Festival and invited me along to see the festivities.

 I had a brilliant day at the Elford Scarecrow Festival.  This year the Bank Holiday weather has been fantastic and there were even more interesting scarecrows!

The National Autistic Society has been working with MPs to not only improve legislation on issues which affect the lives of people with autism but also on the policies which matter.

The Statfold Barn Festival went ahead, despite the poor weather and wild conditions the Statfold Barn Festival went ahead without a hitch.

A brilliant day, with great acts, loads to drink, eat and do!

In a time of political uncertainty, it was pleasing to see the Staffordshire flag flying high in Westminster this week.

The flags of 50 historic counties were raised on Parliament square to celebrate the nation's heritage on County Flag Day.

The other week I visited the Staffordshire Police Resolution Centre in Birmingham.

The charity Independent Age has been investigating the Pension Credit system.  They have kindly produced figures from each constituency of Pension Credit uptake and where improvements can be made.
