Thanks to the Sixth Formers of Pool Hayes Academy for inviting me to talk about aspiration and their plans for the future. With hard work and the support of their fantastic teachers I’m sure they will go on to do exciting things.

I’ve been working with Bloxwich Academy, Asda and The Red Box Project to help tackle period poverty in Bloxwich, Willenhall and Walsall North.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the training centre and headquarters for the armed officers of West Midlands Police. The officers are called on to deal with a range of dangerous incidents including organised crime and terrorism.

As part of my campaign against crime, I met with Chief Superintendent Andy Parsons, the local police commander, to talk about policing in Willenhall, Bloxwich and Walsall North.

Nominate your favourite pub in Bloxwich, Willenhall and Walsall North!

The best pub will be put forward for Parliamentary Pub of the Year 2019, with the top three being part of my Politics and a Pint Pub Crawl!

Following my successful campaign to secure £36m of funding for a new A&E department at Manor Hospital I visited the existing A&E department to meet with Ruchi Joshi, Clinical Director of Emergency Services.

I stopped by at Willenhall E-ACT Academy and Pool Hayes Academy for GCSE results day. Congratulations to all students and teachers.

Aldi is open!

Thanks to Aldi UK and Olympic gold medalist Katherine Copeland (as well as Aldi super-fan Thomas) for making it such a great event.

The new store is run by Mark Yates with a fantastic homegrown team of 40 local colleagues. 

Brilliant news. A brand new Willenhall Railway Station is set to open in 2021 thanks to £25 million announced by the Government.

Eddie has today welcomed a £2bn blitz to help NHS patients and doctors. The doctors, the nurses, the managers of the NHS — they are all doing great things.
