Visit to the Cancer Research UK shop in Kenilworth last Friday to meet the team and hear about the excellent work they do.

Kenilworth Town Council is putting on a Community Crime Prevention Event on Saturday 16 February. It will be an excellent opportunity to hear advice from experts in the field, and I am fully supportive of this initiative.

I was pleased to be a member of the panel at the recent event at Rowington Village Hall. I had previously chaired a meeting with representatives from the rural areas covered, following which we agreed to arrange a broader meeting for local residents.

After the festive season many people resolve to look after themselves better and the polls show that health is the priority for those committing to a personal change in the new year.

Visit to Interactive Future Games in Leamington Spa. Great to see so many local companies being at the forefront of this ever growing industry.
