Yesterday in Parliament Therese raised the problems of poor accommodation and maintenance suffered by residents of Rock Barracks and Pinnacle's failure to get a grip on the issue. Neighbouring MP and Defence Procurement Minister, James Cartlidge, agreed to visit and look into the problem.
Therese has consistently been working with campaign groups like SEAS and SASES to raise concerns about the impact of excessive energy infrastructure on the Suffolk coast and was pleased to be their guest speaker at a public meeting on Friday in Saxmundham.
Therese used her first speech from the back benches in nine years to contribute to a debate in Parliament on Thursday about climate change and the forthcoming COP28 Conference.
Therese has slammed East Suffolk Council for failing to back an application to make a section of the River Deben at Woodbridge a designated bathing water. As landowners, the government requires their specific backing in order for the application to be considered.
