Congratulations to Truly Traceable Venison & Game Pies from Halesworth and Orford General Store for reaching the national final of the Countryside Alliance Awards held in Parliament recently.

It was great to meet Deputy Director of the East Suffolk & North Essex Foundation Trust ICT team, Darren Atkins at the NHS Parliamentary Awards in Westminster this week.

Tackling climate change and improving the environment is a key cross-government activity, with strong support for action from across Parliament. Therese was pleased to meet people from Rendlesham recently to discuss this and also what the government was doing about it. 

Therese has welcomed the news that Snape Community Primary School will benefit from new investment in nursery school places.

In her capacity as Environment Minister as well as local MP, Therese was delighted to visit Langer Primary School in Felixstowe last week for the Bin It Roadshow.

Following the nomination Therese submitted back in April, the East Suffolk & North Essex Foundation Trust ICT team led by Deputy Director, Darren Atkins have made the shortlist for an NHS Parliamentary Award.

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone that attended the meeting and to the councillors that participated.

Therese was delighted to meet the stars of Britain's Got Talent – Finn and his handler PC Dave Wardell – in Parliament tocelebrate 'Finn's Law' – the Animal Welfare (Service Animals) Act, which came into force last Saturday.

Voting has started on the leadership contest for the Conservative Party. We have a wide range of really good candidates, eachwith their own strengths.

Therese was delighted to captain the winning team of female MPs, as they overcame the collective might of female peers to secure victory for the House of Commons in the Macmillan Cancer Support Tug of War last week.
