Dear Friends and Residents

Hello again, and I hope you and your loved ones have remained safe and well since my last bulletin a couple of weeks ago.   

The 2020 Maidstone Apprenticeship Fair has been hailed as a huge success after it was confirmed as the biggest version of the annual event to date.

On Monday this week I joined our Prime Minister and 16 African Heads of State in London at our first UK-Africa Trade and Investment Summit.

Helen Grant MP, Tracey Crouch MP, Helen Whately MP and Tom Tugendhat MP will be hosting the third annual Maidstone Apprenticeship Fair on Friday 7th February at Maidstone Leisure Centre. 

2020 is certain to be an historic year for our sceptered isles. We will leave the European Union and chart a new relationship with our closest geographical neighbours, based on free trade and security co-operation.

A Kent MP vowed to back the county’s wine producers as she was appointed to a new position in Parliament this week.

Last week’s record-breaking warm weather heralded the start of the school summer holidays and with it, the zenith of Kent’s tourism season.

One of the most  enjoyable aspects  of my job is that I have the pleasure of visiting so many of our wonderful schools across Maidstone and the Weald.

The importance of finding positive and effective ways to reduce re-offending cannot be overstated.

Brexit is a vitally important, historic moment for our nation and it is therefore understandable that so much time continues to be devoted to it. However, our relationship with the European Union is not what inspired me to become an MP.
