On Saturday 6 May 2017 I went to the fun day at Masjid Al-Farouq to help raise money for the newborn unit at Manor Hospital. The stalls including henna/mehndi, cake stall, and various games, raised funds towards a £20,000 target, which will go to providing the unit with vital equipment such as heart rate monitors.
On Tuesday 9 May 2017 Walsall Labour Party launched its General Election campaign outside The New Art Gallery.
On 24 April 2017, I wrote to the Chief Executive of Walsall MBC to outline my constituents’ concerns on grass verge parking on Walstead Road, and to inform the Council that local authorities have the power to solve this issue.
I was delighted to keep a Walsall tradition alive and take part in the ceremony of Walking the Fair, an annual event which dates back as far as 1662. This is a tradition where local stall holders give a donation to the Mayor Councillor Kath Phillips JP for those in need as the Mayor does the walk. The photo shows l-r the Mayors Consort Maurice, to my left the Mayor and on the far right of the photo Cllr Eileen Russell, Councillor for St Matthews.
Following the recent announcement of a General Election, Business Questions to the Leader of the House was the last before Parliament is Prorogued and there is a dissolution of Parliament. I raised various issues with the Leader of the House, Rt Hon David Lidington MP. My speech is below:
