The Parliamentary Health and Wellbeing Service held a very valuable day on the 23 February 2016 to raise awareness of their services to promote health and well being. There was a multiple choice questionnaire and I was delighted to be informed that I had won a First Aid kit grab bag. The picture shows Sally presenting me with the bag in front of a bust of Labour Secretary of State for Health, Nye Bevan who founded the NHS.

Many constituents who are WHG tenants contacted me to say they had received demands for substantial increases in the fees charged for garages and car parking spaces. These increases have been imposed at very short notice, giving my constituents little time to be able to find the money to pay. In some cases, annual charges have increased by 300% or by as much as £90.
