Over the next few days I hope you will receive (if you have not already) a copy of my annual Report Back on the work that I do as your Member of Parliament.
Although the Royal Sutton Coldfield Observer covers much of what I do as your MP, I hope that you will find it useful to have a report back directly from me on some of the work I have done over the last year. My role as your MP is to champion the issues of importance to Sutton Coldfield and its residents, and so I hope that you will find the report both interesting and informative reading. As an aside, I should emphasise that this report is funded entirely by local Conservatives, not by the taxpayer.
I enjoy compiling this report, as it gives me the opportunity to look back over what we have achieved together, and the experiences that I have had over the last year. I am very fortunate that through my role I am able to see such a broad range of the life and activities that go on in Sutton – from schools to churches to local charities and the diverse set of local businesses and services.
My job brings me into contact with a vast number of people with differing views and opinions, all united by their desire to make our Royal town the best possible place to work and live.
The issues that I have been focussing on over the last year reflect this desire, ranging from trying to protect our Green Belt to supporting job creation and, of course, the reassertion of our Royal status. These specific campaigns run alongside the crucial work that goes into ensuring that Sutton continues to be supported by effective and efficient local services, and of ensuring that the voices of Suttonians are heard by the Government on whatever subject they are interested.
On the final page of my report there is an opportunity for you to tell me what issues affect and interest you the most. This is just one of a number of ways, also set out in the report, that you can contact me, and I look forward to reading your responses on the important issues impacting us in Sutton if you would like to make contact.
