I have written to the minister to ask for financial help for the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity and its Mid Anglian counterpart . They urgently need funding for projects but they have to raise all the money themselves. Thank you to the regional MPs who have signed my letter.

I am honoured to have been re-selected by the Liberal Democrats to stand at the next election in Thornbury & Yate. I will continue to work hard for local people and campaign for them both locally and in Westminster.

I put it to the PM that the Foreign Office must have been under pressure from someone to override the vetting outcome. I got another non-answer - that’s 3 in 8 days!

I hosted a round table meeting to discuss Special Educational Needs and Disabilities at Dodington Parish Hall. It was to assist parents and carers to make their responses to the SEND White Paper consultation and to help me continue to speak up for them in Parliament.

I asked the Prime Minister at PMQ’s whether he would support the redevelopment of Yate train station

I have asked the Prime Minister when he will act to help businesses facing soaring energy prices as a result of the Middle East crisis

Thank you to Marcus Pont, CEO of Domin Engineering in Pucklechurch for showing me around the factory and sharing his concerns about the impact of Government policy. It was fascinating to see the high tech 3D metal printers and robots at work.

I visited the Bromford Housing Association, which is based in Chipping Sodbury, to hear about the ‘AlertaCall’ technology they use to connect with residents and keep them safe

I pulled the winning raffle tickets when I visited The Memory Cafe at Doynton. It provides support for people living with dementia and their carers. The cafe runs on the first Thursday of each month from 2pm - 4pm at Doynton Village Hall

One of the most enjoyable events of the year - the Easter Bonnet competition at Kingsgate Park. Glorious weather too! The only difficult part of the day was picking the winners with Alan Monaghan, the Deputy Mayor of Yate.

Thank you to everyone at Wellesley Primary School in Yate for their warm welcome. I had a chance to discuss funding challenges and the proposed government legislation for Special Educational Needs with Head Heather Small and Chair of Governors Stewart Osgood.

I know better bus services are a priority for many people in Thornbury and Yate. Here’s a chance to have your say with the people who make the decisions.

I was honoured to be asked to open the new African Forest area at the Bristol Zoo Project. I cut the ribbon with Roma Wells, presenter of the BBC Travel Programme who was filming for a new episode. The new gorilla house is brilliant, I will be back with my big camera!

I was delighted to officially open the new manafacturing unit at Ingenia in Yate. It’s one of the world’s largest producers of ID credential cards, from hotel room access cards to national identity cards. It's a family owned, local success story

Local bus services could be at risk because of rising fuel costs linked to the Middle East war. I asked the Minister how the Government can protect them as this crisis unfolds

We are now in Easter Recess. Here's what I did for Thornbury and Yate:

Raised case or constituent stuck in the Middle East
Pushed for support for those using heating oil and LPG
Challenged the Minister on bus funding and secured a meeting

I have visited SBUS in Brixton, a technical college. I spoke to the Principal to learn more about its success story and what we can do in Thornbury and Yate to make technical education more accessible, building the clean power workforce of the future.

I’ve had a meeting with GWR and Network Rail where we discussed requests for a late night train from Bristol to Yate, improvements to Yate station and better public transport connectivity. I will continue to raise the concerns constituents have expressed in my Rail Survey

We had some wonderful spring sunshine to enjoy as we spent time chatting to people in Thornbury at the weekend.

I have met representatives of the Civil Service Pensions Alliance who are supporting those whose Civil Service pensions have been unacceptably delayed. I have raised this debacle in the Commons and will continue to push the government to help those affected.

Tell Starmer: Cancel The King's Visit The King should not have to meet with a bully who ignores international law and insults our country and our brave troops.

If you agree, back our petition to cancel the visit.

I asked the Foreign Secretary how she can justify undermining our security with the latest short-sighted aid cuts to just 0.3% of GDP.

I met Cash Access UK, the organisation dealing with the Thornbury Banking Hub. I’m told there are no plans for a Hub in Yate as there are two banks still open there. One will be assessed automatically if all banks close.

With heating oil prices skyrocketing, I asked the minister what the government will do now for constituents who are already unable to pay these inflated prices.
