Reporting back on the meeting between West Sussex MPs and the new Education Secretary, Damain Hinds, as promised, continuing the fight to secure additional funding for our schools in West Sussex.

"I have received no notification from the ICO about any complaint against me let alone the nature of the complaint or what they have done about it.

Worthing's MPs Tim Loughton and Sir Peter Bottomley have written to Highways England Chief Executive Jim O'Sullivan demanding full transparency on the costing of improvements to the A27 following a meeting with him in Westminster.  

In the letter the MPs state:

The Jobcentre Plus Travel Discount Card can make a real difference to people looking for work by allowing jobseekers to travel to interviews at half the price.

It will be a great relief to all the families of the 11 men who tragically lost their lives at that fateful day in Shoreham back in August 2015 that a decision has at last been taken on whether charges are to be brought.

It is very disappointing that certain heads have chosen to write to parents again apparently in order to blame MPs for funding pressures rather than work constructively with us to achieve further progress.

I was out at Cissbury Ring to support the National Farmers Union’s #TaketheLead campaign to make sure dog walkers keep control of their pets around livestock. Vast majority do but 589 animals killed in Sussex alone in last few years means too many irresponsible ones don't.

I was delighted to attend the service of thanksgiving and dedication of the branch standard at St Mary's Church in Broadwater to mark the 80th anniversary of the Worthing Royal Naval Associaiton. 

It was good to have Citizens Advice at Shoreham Farmers Market helping constituents save on their energy bills.

Well done to Sompting and Southwick Conservatives for a packed Race Night at the Gardener's Arms in Sompting raising funds for NSPCC.
