Meeting local groups is a huge privilege of my job

AGM proves members have a passion for our waterways

I had the pleasure of attending the Inland Waterways Association Lee & Stort Branch’s Annual General Meeting.

I spoke about the historic connection our area has with these rivers and why they and the people living on them must be protected. The club shows such commitment and passion for our waterways – it really is inspiring to see. Thank you to them for their welcome, and especially to Councillor George Cutting for his ongoing work and support.

Rotary’s wonderful work

I also spoke at the wonderful Bishop’s Stortford Rotary Club. I shared with them what it was like being an MP and working in Parliament – it was hard to know where to begin!

Rotary is such a brilliant organisation that does a lot locally and I love supporting their events whenever I can.

It was a fantastic event and I thank them for their warm reception.

Pitching In at Ware FC

I had a lot of fun volunteering at Ware FC on their recent matchday against AFC Dunstable. The club relies on volunteers to host fixtures and Pitching In is their clever new way to help local people find these vacancies online. I learnt how to man the turnstiles for the day and know there are lots of other opportunities going like it at the moment. It is this kind of community support that makes Ware FC such a special club – and must have something to do with their recent wins!

Ware town centre Post Office

There is even more good news on Ware town’s Post Office. I am keeping up the pressure on the Post Office to roll out their final preparations. I will share more updates on my Facebook page ‘Save Ware High Street’s Post Office’ as soon as possible.

Please sign up to my newsletter via the homepage of my website to stay in the loop on this campaign and lots of others too.

I am thrilled we will get a new Community Diagnostic Centre
