Many local people have written to me about potholes and that is why I started my Report a Pothole campaign on my website.
I am therefore delighted that the Conservative Government is investing £4,456,400 across Staffordshire to fix 89,128 potholes.
I welcome the news that 19,239 pensioners in Staffordshire Moorlands will be receiving the Conservative Government’s 10.1 per cent increase in the Basic State Pension from this month.
I know just how much everyone is looking forward to the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla which will take place in Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6th May.
I welcome the Conservative Government’s investment of £410,353 into the Moorlands as part of £110 million in extra funding for councils across the country to grow local tourism and support rural businesses looking to start-up or expand.
I welcome the Conservative Government’s investment of £32,244.96 into Staffordshire Moorlands to crackdown on fly tipping as part of the second round of grants from the Fly Tipping Intervention Grant Scheme, funding new CCTV, fencing, and small scale development across the country.
I wish everyone in Staffordshire Moorlands a very happy and peaceful Easter and thank you to the children of Ilam Primary School for the lovely artwork for my office window.
I welcome £11,013,096 in funding for Staffordshire County Council from this week to help vulnerable residents through the Household Support Fund, building on our record of helping those most in need through challenging times.
It is great to hear that Staffordshire will be one of the Hotspot trailblazer Police force areas in the Government’s Anti-Social Behaviour Plan and I know that the announcement will be welcomed by local residents and businesses right across the Moorlands.
It was lovely to meet constituent Ed Daly at the event in Parliament.
I was also pleased to be able to speak in the World Down Syndrome Day debate in the Chamber and especially to be able to mention Ed and his mum, Jane who were watching in the Gallery following their visit to 10 Downing Street.
