Here in South Derbyshire we are fortunate to have relatively low unemployment, and we have continued to see this figure reduce year on year since 2010.

I was delighted to receive the good news that our constituency is to benefit from £4.4 Million pounds to kick start the Woodville regeneration project. I met with Sajid Javid Secretary of State for communities and Local Government to hear the news first hand.

I am so proud of our NHS and the first class service offered by UK doctors and nurses.However, the quality of the service we deliver, free to anyone who needs it, makes the UK a target for unscrupulous health tourism.

I was recently informed by Highways England that they are to carry out work to improve the safety of the A38 between Alrewas and the Toyota A50 Junction.

Local South Derbyshire firms are showing the way when it comes to global exports.

I have backed the National Consumer Week, a campaign to help people use their consumer rights to get problems with faulty goods like TVs, laptops and mobile phones resolved.

Recently MPs overwhelmingly backed a Government amendment endorsing the Prime Minister’s March deadline for triggering Article 50.

I welcome the Government’s recent announcement of £3 billion of investment on improving roads in a boost for motorists across the UK and in South Derbyshire.
