On Wednesday, 18th September it was my pleasure to attend the formal opening of the Institute for Creative Leather Technologies’ (ICLT) new facility located at the University of Northampton’s Waterside Campus.

On Saturday, 21st September I was happy to join members of the Northampton Morris Dancers to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Northampton group. Dancing took place around Northampton.

On Friday, 20th September I attended the official opening of Northampton College’s new Advanced Construction Engineering (ACE) Centre in Booth Lane.

On Saturday, 28th September, I visited the St George’s Street Mosque in the Semilong area of Northampton to meet and talk to members of our local Muslim community.

Navratri is one of the most important events in the Hindu calendar. It pays homage to the Hindu deity of Durga – who is the principal and popular form of the Hindu warrior goddess.

Supporting our NHS is one of my personal top priorities, and so I was very pleased to meet the Northamptonshire Branch of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) at Berrywood Hospital, Northampton.

When people have committed criminal offences and been convicted in court, they will sometimes receive a sentence to do ‘unpaid work’ in the community. This used to be called Community Service and is now called the Community Payback scheme.

I have always been a supporter of our police officers who do a superb job in difficult circumstances keeping our community safe.

Since I became an MP over 9 years ago, and the three and a half years before that when I was the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Northampton North, I have always been eager to speak to all of my constituents and hear their views and concerns.
