🚗 GOOD NEWS! 🚗 Planning permission has been granted for Whitchurch Civic Centre to be used as a driving test base. A big thank you to the Town Council for offering the Civic so quickly and to everyone involved in the campaign. Now it's down to the DVSA to get back in gear. https://t.co/5p6dPOolFE
Residents in Baschurch have tirelessly campaigned for their station - and they have my full support. Now it's time for the Government to get on board with the proposal and ensure plans for the station are on track as soon as possible. https://t.co/dWtfao1JHV

The Chancellor could have provided investment to areas that most need it (rural infrastructure for example) but instead over-stretched councils are forced to compete against each other. And, so often, it is marginal Tory seats that benefit. https://t.co/t9TInULLZd
And where was the help for local businesses? Many rural businesses are struggling to survive as they try to cope with crippling energy costs and the impact of inflation. But the Chancellor refused to extend support. https://t.co/O1hbLg1t1h
