I had a lovely afternoon with local dignitaries, Councillors, members of the community and the team at Notcutts Woodford, as they celebrated the opening of their new garden and restaurant.

Like many residents across Stockport, I’ve enjoyed the summer weather and the opportunity to attend events and spend time with family, and I know how important it is that we all feel safe as we do so.

I was delighted to be on hand to get proceedings under way amid the broccoli and the blooms of Cheadle Hulme Flower Show Society’s annual show.

As schools are finishing for Summer, I had the pleasure of celebrating with a lifetime supply of cake as a bake off judge at Pownall Green Primary School's recent Summer Fair!

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome pupils from Lum Head Primary School to Parliament today. They took a tour of the historic Palace of Westminster, and also had their chance to quiz me about democracy and my day to day role as an MP.

As one of the 490 women to be elected to the House of Commons since 1918, I’ve taken great pleasure in seeing the centenary of the Representation of the People Act, which gave some women the right to stand for Parliament and vote for the first time, celebrated by people up and down the country th

Community spirit was well and truly on display this weekend, with Gatley, Bramhall, and Heald Green all holding their community festivals!

This morning I had a great time at Bramhall Festival and also enjoyed a cuppa and chat with Bramhall and Woodford Girlguiding, hosting their wonderful Equaliteas event!

For many years since it closed in 1999, the site of the old Barnes Hospital in Cheadle became an eye sore in desperate need of a use, and I recently took a tour around the ongoing works at the 17 acre site, which are transforming it from a dilapidated old building into a vibrant new community.

For most people like me, the NHS has been there for many of the good times as well as the difficult times in our lives, and next week will mark 70 years since its creation.
