I am pleased that Staffordshire County Council have taken the decision not to stop funding the school crossing patrols service. 
I have been in contact with a number of schools to support them in this and feel that this is the right decision.
Could I ask any schools with further concerns on the issue to email me so that I can take up the matter with the relevant third party.

I have received many emails from constituents concerning my voting record this week and would like to clarify the situation. I recognise that votes in Parliament can be complicated and this week has been extremely difficult to follow. I hope this helps explain why I voted how I did.

Moorlands MP, Karen Bradley, continues to urge residents in Staffordshire Moorlands to take part in the consultation organised by the local CCG, namely “The Future of Local Healthcare Services”.  

I am very encouraged to see that the latest crime statistics show that crime is down by 38 per cent since June 2010, and in the past year alone is down by 9 per cent in the year to June 2017. The independent Crime Survey for England and Wales, the best measure of crime experienced by individuals and families, also shows that crime is down by 70 per cent since its 1995 peak. This shows that police reform is working, and that families and communities are safer as a result. 

Farming is an integral part of life in Staffordshire Moorlands and I have always supported local Moorlands farmers, be they dairy, beef, upland hill or other - whatever they may farm.
Food and farming is a bedrock of our economy and environment, generating £110 billion a year and helping shape some of our finest habitats and landscapes.
