It was great to meet with Rachel, Martin, Karen and Joe from Stagecoach at their depot on Gypsy Patch Lane who were very enthusiastic about the prospects for their Bristol operations. They are planning to begin a full refurbishment of the site starting in early 2023.
I am honoured and delighted to have been re-appointed Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party by Chairman Nadhim Zahawi, with a particular focus on engaging with the Armed Forces and Veterans groups.
Over this Remembrance Weekend I was privileged to be invited to participate in multiple events to honour the sacrifice of those who have fallen in the service of our country.
Delighted to be able to welcome UWE students and Senior Lecturer of Economics, Dr. Sahand Panah, to the House of Commons today. I very much enjoyed meeting them all and had a great discussion about national and local politics.
An interesting meeting with the Minister for Defence Procurement, Alex Chalk MP, where we discussed DE&S in my constituency and the ongoing support for the Ukrainians.
Met with the residents of Stoke Giffard House on Friday with Carole and David from Bromford to follow up from our previous meeting. Since then, communication has significantly improved and it was good to hear how Bromford is addressing the residents' concerns.
Honoured to be able to help launch the Stoke Gifford branch of the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal this year at Bristol Parkway. Proud to be the Vice President of the branch, and great to see my good friend Dave Bell, who recently received an RBL award for long service.
