Lancaster’s Mill Race area has been transformed. 🥳
Eight historic properties have been restored with a £2 million investment from @LancasterCC and Historic England.
Watch our video for a glimpse of the transformation, featuring a cameo from @CatSmithMP! 🎥
💜 #POTSAwarenessDay 💜
Never intended to be so open about having it, but fainting (quite a few times) in my workplace means it’s hard to hide. Some days I forget I have it. Some days it’s hard to ignore.
Follow @UKPoTS to be more aware and I hope in time more will be known.

Huge thank you to @CatSmithMP for asking the PM to meet with the @letsend_poverty coalition ✊
Great to hear Starmer call our #DearPrimeMinister letters - including one from Big Issue vendor Matthew - "honest, powerful and important".
Now we need action. bit.ly/3YsQeuV

"The letters are honest, powerful and important. They hold up a mirror to our country."
We're delighted that @CatSmithMP asked the PM about the 15 open letters people with lived experience of poverty sent to him this week. Read them here: letsendpoverty.co.uk/dearpm/ #DearPM
Never. Cross. A. Picket. Line.

We recently visited Lancaster's historic high street alongside @CatSmithMP and @LancasterCC.
We even met 3 generations of the Smilie family at the restored Quality Plus Furniture showroom! 📸
Since 2020, £2 million has helped revitalise the Mill Race area in the city centre.

👩⚕️ The Royal Lancaster Infirmary is not fit for the future, and that a new hospital is needed.
🙋♀️ I have been relentlessly pushing to get us a new hospital, and deliver better healthcare services for everyone across Lancaster and Wyre.
💧I presented a petition in the House of Commons in response to Ofwat’s proposal to see the cost of water bills increase year on year.
📣 This petition calls on the Government to review all appropriate measures to mitigate the impact of these increases on household bills!
⛪️ Thank you Rev Michael Hutchinson for leading Garstang Town Council’s civic service in the parish church of St Thomas’.
🇬🇧 I wish our Mayor, Councillor Michael Halford a successful term in office supported by Mayoress Robyn Halford.
🧚♀️ What an amazing Preesall and Knott End Gala day! Thank you to all the organisers, and everyone who joined in and came out to see the parade.
🥇 It was very tough being a judge for the best floats, as everyone made a fantastic effort!
I have received a few enquires about jobs in my office over the past week, but I’m not recruiting.

This may be the only time I ever land a joke this well in the chamber of the House of Commons and I’ll take that…

📝 I’ve visited Cawthorne’s Endowed Primary School in Abbeystead today. It’s lovely to take questions from the children who recently had a trip to the Houses of Parliament.
🌺 Then, onto meet the volunteers at Garstang in Bloom and thank them for making our high street buzz!
Finished off the weekend hosting my son’s birthday party… quite a busy week all around.
The only acceptable blue rosette is a birthday boy one 😆
