2017

I visited Walsall Manor Hospital to see the new state of the art Gamma Camera on Friday 7 July 2017. The new camera will help in the treatment of cancer and other conditions. I met with Richard Kirby, the Chief Executive of Walsall Healthcare Trust, representatives of Walsall’s League of Friends, and staff from the imaging unit.

At Business Questions I raised various issues with the Leader of the House, Andrea Leadsom MP. My speech is below:

Today I was pleased to pledge support for professional performers and musicians in Walsall South in their continued work post-Brexit.

I was delighted to speak at the Unity in the Community Rally on Saturday 1 July 2017. We came together in solidarity at The Crossing at St Paul’s, sending a powerful message to the English Defence League (EDL) protesters who seek to divide us by hatred.

On Saturday 1 July 2017 I attended St Matthew’s Community Day, an annual event hosted by St Matthew’s Church to bring together the community and families of Walsall. I met with Reverend Jim Trood, the vicar of St Matthew’s Church, and Patti Lane. I watched performances in the Church from Blue Coat Schools, visited arts and craft stalls, and spoke with local community groups.
