It was fantastic to meet staff and see the incredible investment and effort that went into building NHS Nightingale Hospital Exeter.

Great to visit St Martins CofE Primary School in Cranbrook to meet pupils, teachers and staff. Everyone at the school is working incredibly hard to safely provide a first class education. Thank you!

Beauty clinics are a cornerstone of our high street and provide employment to hundreds of people in East Devon.

Cutting VAT on hospitality & tourism to 5% and 50% off meals out will kick-start the East Devon economy and protect thousands of jobs. Devon’s MPs spoke and the Chancellor listened because we’re the party of business and jobs #EnjoySummerSafely

It was great to speak in Steve Double MPs debate on policing in Devon & Cornwall last night. I’ll continue to push for investment in policing and the new Devon & Cornwall Police headquarters in East Devon is a major step in the right direction.

Great to visit Ottery St Mary and West Hill today. I met with residents living on and around the B3180 worried about road safety who’ve set up an action group. I share their concerns about speeding and the number of HGV’s using this narrow road.

The new flexible NHS Nightingale Hospital Exeter will spring into action as a cancer testing centre and start screening multiple patients a day from next Monday. This is very welcome news for many people in East Devon and will be a huge help for our community hospitals and the RD&E.

Valuable opportunity to speak with Police & Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez and officers from Devon & Cornwall Police this afternoon on Exmouth beach. Extra patrols are in place following incidents last week to keep residents and visitors safe.

Great to visit and enjoy a delicious coffee from The Little Deli in Sidmouth. They’ve recently opened for the first time and they are already popular! Good to see much of the town #OpenForBusiness. Think #localfirst, support our local shops and protect jobs.

Budleigh is #OpenForBusiness. It was valuable to speak to shopkeepers who stayed open throughout lockdown or re-opened last week. Great to see a new business working hard to open for the first time too! Let’s think #localfirst, support our local shops and protect jobs.
