Pleased to hear that University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust is once again working with Warwickshire and Solihull Blood Bikes (WSBB) to collect and deliver samples.

The Carnival Committee and all involved in putting the carnival together have done another great job this year. In the 14 years I have walked with the procession I can’t remember it hotter, but the community spirit on display was as strong as ever.

Delighted to attend a Gala Dinner to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Kenilworth Lions last week.

The Kenilworth Lions are celebrating 50 years of wonderful service to the town. Thanks and congratulations to them all.

We are fortunate in Kenilworth to have excellent schools for our young people.

Good to meet with the Chair of Governors at Wellesbourne and Tysoe CE Primary Schools last week, to hear more about their work to provide the best possible educational opportunities for their pupils.

I met with my constituent Lesley Martin in Parliament yesterday at the 'Dementia Care: The Crisis Behind Closed Doors' exhibition, to hear about the impact Dementia has on carers as well as sufferers.

Great to visit Wellesbourne Airfield again last Friday. I very much support its continued operation as an airfield recognising the significant historical, cultural and economic benefits it brings to our community.

Good meeting with Telent, a locally-headquartered, high skills business, which works at the heart of the UK's critical national infrastructure delivering ICT, communications networks, operational systems and services.  

Congratulations to Silson on moving into their new premises.

Meeting with Angela Joyce, CEO of Warwickshire College Group, last Friday.
