An evening train journey should not end for a disabled traveller by being carried down steps to leave the station, but this has been the situation facing people at our local stations.

Gatley Festival and Gatley Hill Fields were the perfect venue for picnics in the sunshine amid food stalls & fairgrounds and I tried my hand at bowling for Cheadle Rotary. Thanks to all at Gatley Village Partnership for their hard work!

Soaring temperatures brought out the crowds in Heald Green ably stewarded by Alex and Dylan and colleagues from 284 Squadron ATC on Armed Forces Day, and I chatted about jamborees to 3rd Heald Green Scouts who always welcome new recruits and volunteers.

Forget Glastonbury... the festival action for me this weekend was here!

I am supporting a campaign to tackle discrimination against guide dog owners organised by the charity Guide Dogs.

I was delighted to have the chance to speak at one of Lady Barn House School's 'Inspirational Speaker' assemblies, about life before Parliament and my role as an MP. It's always interesting to hear from pupils about the things they care about and to answer their questions.

I'm backing a call from Cancer Research UK to help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.

It was interesting and insightful to join Minister for Business & Industry Andrew Stephenson MP on a visit to Woodford Engineering Consultancy in Cheadle Hulme. The company recently won a Queen's Award for International Trade, so it's great to see a business with local roots going global!

I had a great time meeting Sixth Formers from Stockport Grammar during their visit to Wetsminster. No prizes for guessing the main topic during a brilliant Q&A!

Brilliant to see community spirit in action at Wellcroft Care Home in Gatley over the weekend as they were raising funds for a new dementia café. You can pop in to support them and maybe pick up a burger if you’re passing by on your way to Gatley Festival later this month!
