I joined a constituent on Walstead Road and Delves Crescent yesterday whilst he took down an air monitoring tube. This is one of ten air monitoring tubes that have been sampling air pollution in Walsall over the last four weeks as part of a national campaign to improve our air.
I enjoyed speaking to students at Walsall College on Monday 5 June 2017 about what a Labour government will do for young people.
I visited St. Paul's at the Crossing on Friday 3 June 2017 to meet and talk with people who are homeless at the annual Ramadan meal.
Great response on Thursday 1 June 2017 putting out Labour’s rail policies to passengers at Walsall Station. The Tories’ failure on rail services has hit passengers hard. Carriages are overcrowded, journey’s delayed and ticket prices up 27%.
A concerned constituent contacted me about the entrance to Darlaston Health Centre on Pinfold Street, as access to the practice, particularly for disabled people, had been restricted.
I am delighted that my colleague Dan Jarvis was able to visit us in Walsall South to highlight Labour’s manifesto policy to fund free parking for patients, staff and visitors by increasing the tax on private medical insurance premiums.
The Labour Party stands up for the many, not the few. How? Read our 2017 manifesto to find out more. Agree with our pledges? Share it now
I enjoyed visiting Caldmore Community Garden on Saturday 27 May 2017, and seeing the fruit and vegetables flourishing and plenty of bees.
