22 May 2026Local GovernmentcelebratoryA good site visit to Ashford Household Waste and Recycling Centre, which will be reopening full time from tomorrow. I know the closure has caused frustration for residents and has likely contributed to fly-tipping in our community, so I’m pleased it will be back up and running as usual!
22 May 2026EducationcelebratoryGreat to visit East Kent College in Ashford to talk about Further Education College Condition Allocations (FECCA). I’m very pleased that EKC will be receiving £3,177,804.99 from the Government to invest in capital projects and improve and maintain their sites!

1 May 2026Local GovernmentmeasuredI have written to KCC and spoken to its leader about the Ashford Household Waste and Recycling Centre - closed since February.

15 Apr 2026Health & NHScelebratoryGreat to join colleagues for the launch of the Women’s Health Strategy for England.
