It was great to pop into Blanc de Blancs in Bramhall today to meet Emma and her team. It’s great to see Bramhall is a thriving place to set up a new small business.

I had a really productive meeting this morning with Wayne Jones and Louise Durose at MAN PrimeServe Diesel. I enjoyed touring their new academy too!

I’m a big supporter of Parkruns, so it was a delight to announce the start of the Bramhall Parkrun today!

It was great to visit Ladybridge CC at Cheadle Hulme Sports Club today, and to talk to them about their plans for a new clubhouse.

I am disappointed to learn that the Chief Inspector of Hospitals has rated Stockport NHS Foundation Trust as requires improvement following its inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in January this year.

Like many of my constituents, when I heard the news relating to the closure of the surgical ward at Stepping Hill and of the loss of 350 posts, my immediate thoughts turned to those patients and staff most likely to be affected.

I am backing Theresa because I believe she will provide the strong leadership for this country that’s needed and most importantly she will unite people.

'Love thy neighbour’ might sound trite, an outdated expression of goodwill that only resonates during Sunday service. But for those residents of Bramhall that I met during the clean-up effort after the appalling floods, it’s a maxim they genuinely take to heart.

I enjoyed visiting St Ann’s Hospice today, to meet their inspiring team and to wish them luck ahead of the Manchester Midnight Walk.

It’s a traffic blackspot which commuters in South Manchester are all too familiar with. But improvements to the notorious junction at Gatley Road on the A34 are now a step closer after the Cheadle MP, Mary Robinson, secured a commitment from Greater Manchester’s Interim Mayor to help make it a priority for the region. During a recent meeting with Tony Lloyd, together with representatives from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), Mary pressed for a radical solution to the frustration that drivers experience along this stretch of road.
