2018 March 15

I attended the launch of Kew Gardens Science Collections Strategy in Parliament on Thursday 15 March.

I raised at Business Questions the Government’s Green Paper on the integration strategy in which Walsall was mentioned. My constituents have contacted me about this because they resent the fact that Walsall is seen as a place that is not integrated. Places for social cohesion such as Pleck Library have been closed, Sure Start Palfrey children’s centre has been outsourced to a private company and we had to fight for ESOL, English for speakers of other languages, mandation funding from Walsall adult community college.
