I this week's Chester Standard column, I reflect on the extraordinary role Chester North & Neston played in WWII, as we mark 80 years since VE Day. From sheltering evacuees to powering wartime industry, our communities helped shape victory — and they deserve to be remembered. 👇
Great to meet with Chris Bryant, Minister for Creative Industries, Arts & Tourism. We covered a range of key issues for our local area, from preserving our historic city walls to the role Chester Zoo plays as a major UK attraction. Tourism is vital to our local economy.
We're out in all weathers! Good to meet residents in Blacon this morning with Cheshire West and Chester Labour Councillors and Chester North and Neston @UKLabour members! 🌹
Proud to have taken the Victims and Courts Bill through its committee stage in my role as a Government Whip. The Bill will compel offenders to attend their sentencing hearing among other vital changes to put victims at the heart of the justice system.
🗣️ Great to be out in Blacon today, speaking to residents about the issues that matter most to them. Thanks to everyone who took the time to speak to us and a big shout-out to the top team who joined me on the doors! 🌹
On the 80th anniversary of #VEday we pay tribute to the incredible men and women, including those from Chester North and Neston, whose efforts led us to victory 80 years ago. Their efforts shaped our freedom and must never be forgotten. Thank you!
