Any idea why we didn't get any Labour leaflets in the Valley Division? All of the other candidates managed to.
Very hesitant at the moment with all the lies
Good luck, everyone!

What are the figures for missed appointment before Labour got in please, just to get a true picture.
It's also rude! If you say yes to an appointment and can't go just say.
We have all seen the awful aftermath of a fly-tip in our community.
We are cracking down on cowboy waste operators and tackling soaring fly-tipping to clean up our streets.
Measures include:
🚚 Crush their vehicles!
💷 Charge them for disposal costs!
❌ Jail them for up to five years!
These new powers will enable councils to work hand-in-hand with the police to target and shut down fly-tipping operations. It’s the action we have been crying out for after years of inaction. ... See MoreSee Less

Why are you not also concentrating on knife crime illegal immigrants in boats, sorting out the disastrous NHS and the list goes on .
No you won't....
The jails are full… lets house them in parliament with the other criminals 🤷

🚨Prescription charges frozen for the first time in three years
The freeze comes after this government agreed record investment for community pharmacies to fund local services for patients, driving the transition to more community based care.
The freeze covers the cost of:
✅ single prescription charges
✅ 3 and 12-month Prescription Prepayment Certificates
✅ HRT Prescription Prepayment Certificates
Nothing will change for people who are exempt from paying for prescriptions. ... See MoreSee Less

Great to meet with Simon Lightwood MP the Minister for Local Transport yesterday. We managed to talk about our rural services, reviewing college and school routes that are run commercially, alongside discussing the upcoming buses bill.
This legislation will enable local authorities to take direct control over routes, timetables, connections and fares in the future. As a government we are committed to safeguarding our bus services, which is why we have already provided an additional £8 million to Leicestershire County Council to help end the postcode lottery when it comes to our local buses.
I am still awaiting further updates on the 129 and 125 routes but my understanding is that discussions are ongoing to try and safeguard these services. However, no new agreements are yet in place.
As soon as I have any further information, I will share this with everyone. Thank you to all those who have got in contact with me on this issue, and please do continue to let me know how any potential cancellations would impact you here: www.amandahack.com/campaigns/bus-services-129-and-125/ ...

I recently visited Griffydam Primary School, one of the first of 750 free breakfast clubs we’re launching across the UK to support parents and children!
That means:
✅ 30 minutes free childcare daily
✅ Saving families up to £450 a year
✅ Making sure children start the day with hungry minds, not hungry tummies
It was also lovely to sit down and answer questions from the school council and class 4 during the visit, thank you for having me. ... See MoreSee Less

An early start then Amanda and many thanks for all the work you are undertaking our community.

We discussed the ongoing flood risks, the options currently being explored to increase resilience and preparedness, and future steps to protect homes and businesses.
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me and I will continue to work with all stakeholders into the future to reduce the impact flooding has on Packington. ... See MoreSee Less
