I had the pleasure of walking along Birdcage Walk this week, thanks to the invitation of shop owners there.

Thanks to The Deal Maker and Edna's Pork Sandwich shop for having me.

I am pleased to back this bill, which has now made it through it's second reading in Parliament.

Cats and dogs are not inanimate objects but sentient beings capable of experiencing distress and other emotional trauma when they are stolen from their owners or keepers.

This week I personally reported a blocked gully on Hillside Rd to the Dudley Council Highways Team.

They attended the site and unfortunately, due to the type of rubbish inside the gully, they had to clear the blockage using their hands. 

On the 6th January, the emergency services were called to Castle Meadows Nursing Home to deal with a fire. Luckily, no-one was injured.

Yet another case of poor management by the owners of the site has left us wondering, once again, if action could have been taken sooner.

I am teaming up with Your Gornal Councillors to strongly oppose a planning application. It is for a 12 bed HMO on Holloway St, Gornal.

As your local representatives, we strongly oppose heritage buildings being turned into housing, especially for Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs).

I assessed the playing field at Grange Park, accompanied by officers from Dudley Council's neighbourhood team. All thanks to local residents reaching out to me.

With so many heritage pubs closing down across the country - never to reopen - I thought it of upmost importance to share a success story here in Sedgley.

One of my favourite visits, just before Christmas day, was to Concord Market in Sedgley.

The friendly, vibrant community made for a welcoming and delightful trip.

I was warmly welcomed into a lovely Greek cafe - It's All Greek To Me - by Mary Valkani.

Thank you Beacon Hill Academy for inviting me to your Christmas Big Bang. I felt fortunate to attend and participate in the exciting build-up to Christmas.

I had the pleasure of visiting primary schools all over Dudley to wrap up my Christmas Card Competition. It was lovely to see the effort and thought that went into the designs, and to share in the spirit of Christmas with so many.
