Yesterday, I visited Stepping Hill Hospital’s new medical and surgical wards to see the improved facilities for patients.

Today I visited The Kingsway School in Cheadle to see them be presented with the award of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) excellence. The school is one of only a few nationally, and the first school in Stockport, to receive this honour.
