I was delighted to attend a reception for Acquired Brain Injury survivors organised by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).

The aim of the event was to raise awareness of ABI, and the need to improve neurorehabilitation services across the UK. 

I held a very constructive discussion with Surrey Wildlife Trust about impact of new developments on wildlife and green space, and how the government's current ambitions for the Environment Act would work 'on the ground'.

I was delighted to visit AMETEK’s facility in Sunbury and meet the teams who are contributing to various aircraft programmes such as the Joint Strike Fighter F-35 and Airbus A350. 

I was very pleased to visit Avidity Care in Staines to learn about the care services they provide to help the elderly and vulnerable individuals to remain in their own homes.

A fantastic afternoon celebrating the centenary of Staines Bowling Club.

This was a very productive meeting, in which I was able to express my concern regarding anti-social behaviour in some areas of Spelthorne. I also stressed my belief in the importance of community policing in deterring crime and reassuring residents.

I was delighted to present the Duke of Edinburgh Awards again this year, this time in the fantastic surroundings of the Council Chamber at Knowle Green.

I was very pleased attend the annual Spelthorne Senior Schools Parliamentary event, and act as “speaker” in the House of Commons style debate, ‘Is internet access a human right?’ 

Based in Sunbury, Worldwide Energy Logistics is another example of a successful company that has grown from strength to strength. I was very pleased to meet with the team and discussed their business and future plans.

In support of the Woodland Trusts project to deliver the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy, I was very pleased to be able to donate five sapling trees from the project to Staines Park. I met with residents and leaders of Spelthorne Borough Council to plant the trees for future generations to enjoy.
