I am really looking forward to hosting my next Pensioners Information & Advice Fair and I am grateful to all the local organisations who have signed up to have stands. My previous Fairs were a huge success, so please come along to get your questions answered and find out more. Everybody is welcome!
Surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Staffordshire Moorlands, Leek is a fantastic place to visit and my week 46’s Reason to Visit the Moorlands.
I visited the village on Saturday for the opening of the Community Art project and was really impressed to see people of all ages joining in and producing some really fantastic pieces of art.
I was delighted to visit The Manifold Inn recently and as well as a great pub and restaurant, it really is the perfect place to use as a base for exploring the surrounding countryside or nearby towns and villages.
The Conservatives introduced the Triple Lock in 2011 to ensure pensioners receive dignity and respect in old age. I am delighted the Conservative Government will boost the state pension by £900 this year, increasing the income of 24,313 pensioners in Staffordshire Moorlands.
I am pleased that eligible parents of two-year-olds are now able to access 15 hours of government-funded childcare a week, with the expansion to go further this year and next.
I know just how vital buses are to people across the Moorlands and therefore welcome the news that the Conservative Government is committing a further £3.1 million to improve bus journeys across Staffordshire.
