Busy Day in the Constituency
After a busy week in Westminster, I was glad to return to the constituency last Friday and launch into another exciting day. I had a highly successful meeting discussing the 2012 Amesbury Regeneration with Mayor Andy Rhind-Tutt, who is energetically pursuing the project. I look forward to keeping in touch with future developments, particularly around the value of Amesbury's heritage for developing a stronger profile for Wiltshire's tourism industry.
This was followed by a meeting with local Salmon and Trout Fishermen where we discussed the challenges facing them with aquatic environmental issues. I look forward to discussing these on a future visit to the Wylye and will be lobbying the Minister on the subject. I held one of my regular surgeries in the afternoon and I will once again do my utmost to handle all the issues that were brought to my attention in that surgery.
The day ended at a Jazz and Dance night where I made a brief appearance to draw the raffle prizes. The fundraiser was organised by two local causes I passionately support, the Trussell Trust and SWAN Advocacy. I look forward to firing the starting gun at this weekend's Trussell Trust Foodbank 5K.
