Many thanks to Dr Dent and Practice Manager Paula at Aylesbury's Poplar Grove surgery for updating me on the current picture for local GPs and their teams.
Sadly, RAF Halton is due to close in 2027. Plans are well underway for a new housing development on the site. Today, I met Buckinghamshire Council cabinet member for planning Peter Strachan to highlight the need for adequate roads, schools and health centres.
Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day, this afternoon I signed Holocaust's UK Book of Commitment in Parliament. We must never forget the horrors of the holocaust. Now more than ever, we must stand up against antisemitism and hate.
I'm extremely concerned about Thames Water's plan for a booster station right next to cottages in Buckland. Unsurprisingly, hundreds of residents oppose it. I visited the proposed site this afternoon with Buckland Parish Council and saw for myself how totally unsuitable it is.
A very useful meeting with Cllr Rachael Matthews Deputy Cabinet Member for Regeneration at Buckinghamshire Council, to discuss progress on plans to improve our town centre. Aylesbury has amazing potential and I'm working hard to make it an even better place to live, work, visit and invest.
Rob Butler MP today called on the Minister for Rail to release funding from the cancelled part of HS2 to help pay for two Link Road projects in Aylesbury.
Congratulations to Turnfurlong Junior School on receiving accreditation for "outstanding development of the international dimension in the curriculum" from British Council. I was delighted to hear about their French lessons and pleased to join the celebrations in Parliament.
