2016

I was interviewed by Tanmanjeet Dhesi about the upcoming EU referendum for the Sikh Channel on Monday 23 May 2016.

The multi-faith community festival took place at All Saints Church in Darlaston on Saturday 21 May 2016.

As part of my Associate fellowship for the Industry and Parliament Trust, I chose to visit a local business. I am also a member of the Environment Food and Rural Affairs select committee (EFRA) and Morrisons is one of the big supermarkets of which there are 2 branches operating in Walsall South. On Friday 20th May 2014, I visited the Morrisons store at Wallows Lane. The other store is in Lichfield Street. I visit both branches frequently and often pick up lunch when I am in the constituency from the Lichfield Street branch opposite my office.

On Friday 20th May 2016, I launched the next phase of the electrification of the railway between Walsall and Rugeley which is being upgraded and electrified by Network Rail. The £36m investment will provide passengers with more reliable, faster and quieter journeys and is due to be completed in December 2017.

There was a crowd of 8,000 at the Banks’s Stadium as we watched the Saddlers in the FC play-off match against Barnsley on a warm Thursday evening on 19 May 2016. The photo shows the free kick to the Saddlers on the edge of the box.
