Last Thursday I was lucky enough to delight in a showcase of some of the best food and drink in West Sussex with 16 brilliant producers from across the county attending a Taste of West Sussex event.

I visited the Tesco store in the Holmbush Centre, Shoreham-By-Sea to support the UK’s biggest food collection for people in need this Christmas.

I was pleased to be able to attend the Grand Opening of the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm marking the completion of this exciting project, which will generate enough energy to power almost 350,000 homes every year for the next 25 years.

I was delighted to attend a strategic forum breakfast.held by the Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce to listen to a presentation from Adur & Worthing Councils' Director for the Economy, Martin Randall regarding the exciting plans for economic development in Adur and Worthing.

We have had a fantastic Taste of West Sussex Day at Parliament today with some of the best food & drinks producers from the County!

Adur & Worthing Council have recently published the new masterplan for Brooklands Park, following consultation with over 800 people responding and the councils working closely with the Friends of Brooklands Park. 

I visited the Co-op store in Broadwater on 16 November to demonstrate my support for Respect for Shopworkers Week.

In-between all that there was quite a grilling from 400 students at Worthing High School for their inaugural Question Time event where I was invited to be on the panel along with Chief Inspector Miles Ockwell, Councillor Becky Cooper and of course the head himself, Pan Panayiotou.

Great to attend South & Mid Sussex NSPCC AGM meeting where the local Lancing branch once again had fund raised the most over the course of the year. Congratulations to all involved! 

It was a unique way to end Remembrance Sunday when I was invited to attend the Sussex Bangladeshi Caterers Association Chef of the Year Award Ceremony and Gala Dinner at the Assembly Hall in Worthing and present an award.
