Last night, I went along to a reception at the House of Commons to congratulate Nick Stevens and Adam Curtis of Kingston and Elmbridge Junior Snorkellers Club (KEJSC) on their £10,000 award from the Aviva Community Fund.
On Friday, I met with Angeline Gore (pictured) and Charlotte Waldron from the inspirational not-for-profit social enterprise Browns Community Services.
Last week, I attended the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on the River Thames, which included a discussion on the issue of illegally moored boats along the river. This is a growing and frustrating problem for local residents, particularly those who live along the Thames in Molesey.
Today, I visited Chandlers Field School in West Molesey. I was met by head teacher Mrs Lynn Williams and Dave Jupp, one the school governors, and went to see the Forest School area which is used to teach pupils about nature whilst enjoying the outdoors.
On Tuesday, the Government announced that commuters on South Western Railway (SWR) will now have access to the improved Automated Delay Repay scheme, making claiming compensation for train delays far easier.
On Friday, I met the Chair of Elmbridge Friends of the Earth, Heather Fraser, and three of her colleagues to discuss the harm caused by plastic pollution and the need to cut down waste and increase rates of recycling.
Today in the House of Commons, I asked Education Secretary Damian Hinds what the Government can do to support Cobham Free School to move into its permanent accommodation at Munro House.
In April 2018, as Housing Minister, I launched a consultation looking at how the government could do more to help local councils and the police combat illegal traveller encampments.
