Boris has been back in the Black Country today to deliver an important speech as Britain prepares, cautiously, to come out of hibernation.

What does Project Speed mean for Bloxwich, Willenhall and Walsall North?

On #ArmedForcesDay I'd like to pay tribute to the great work done by the military in the battle against covid-19. 

From logistics to testing, they've done us proud 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

#StaySafe

We are open for business in Bloxwich, Willenhall and Walsall North!

It’s great to see local shops open again like Ferguson Family Eye Care in Leamore, and Greggs in Bloxwich.

Our mental health and our physical health are just as important as each other. That’s why, particularly at the moment, we need to make sure that we, our friends and our family look after our mental health as much as possible.

Not so long ago Boris was in hospital seriously ill due to coronavirus. 

As promised, I passed on your messages and well wishes from Bloxwich, Willenhall and Walsall North for his speedy recovery. 

Please remember that you must wear a face mask, or other form of face covering, on all public transport from today - Monday, 15th June.

#StayAlert #StaySafe

For the final clap for carers & key workers I was with residents around Jones House in Birchills Leamore.

Thanks to Tina Taylor for the invite 👍

What a great idea this has been to bring the nation together every Thursday evening.

Food is prepared daily by volunteers at Guru Nanak Gurdwara Willenhall and then given out to local residents in need.

I was delighted that they invited me to see this great work for myself.

Walsall bulky item collections service to resume

The council’s bulky items collections service will resume for Walsall residents under revised arrangements from Thursday 14 May 2020 after it was postponed in late March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I'm incredibly grateful to the British Army for giving me a tour of the very efficient, temporary test centre they have set up at Walsall College , processing approximately 400 tests per day. This is apparently one of 90 similar centres they have established across the country.
