I was pleased to get along to Banbury Community Food Pantry’s recent coffee event. Founder Andrew Wickham told me more about their hard work to provide food for those most in need, with the support of big chains like Tesco, M&S, Greggs, Nando’s and KFC.
I was pleased to support the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in Parliament last night. The Prime Minister feels strongly about the importance of public health and believes that it is his duty to protect the next generation.
I had a useful meeting with the new Chief Estates and Facilities Officer Mark Holloway at the Horton to discuss what is being to modernise the hospital’s site and its structures.
I had a thought-provoking meeting with the team at Reducing the Risk of Domestic Abuse last week.
Domestic abuse is a very real issue that has devastating consequences for victims, which is why the work that CEO Dawn Hodson and the team do is so important.
My Rural Crime Forum was a great success! We heard from our Police & Crime Commissioner Matthew Barber about all of the work he has been doing locally and what his priorities are for Thames Valley.
The recent CQC report into maternity services at the Horton raised some serious issues, so it was good to meet the Chief Executive of the Trust Meghana Pandit onsite yesterday to discuss some of the findings further.
