Lancaster’s Mill Race area has been transformed. 🥳
Eight historic properties have been restored with a £2 million investment from @LancasterCC and Historic England.

💜 #POTSAwarenessDay 💜
Never intended to be so open about having it, but fainting (quite a few times) in my workplace means it’s hard to hide. Some days I forget I have it. Some days it’s hard to ignore.
Follow @UKPoTS to be more aware and I hope in time more will be known.

Huge thank you to @CatSmithMP for asking the PM to meet with the @letsend_poverty coalition ✊
Great to hear Starmer call our #DearPrimeMinister letters - including one from Big Issue vendor Matthew - "honest, powerful and important".
Now we need action. bit.ly/3YsQeuV

"The letters are honest, powerful and important. They hold up a mirror to our country."
We're delighted that @CatSmithMP asked the PM about the 15 open letters people with lived experience of poverty sent to him this week. Read them here: letsendpoverty.co.uk/dearpm/ #DearPM

We recently visited Lancaster's historic high street alongside @CatSmithMP and @LancasterCC.
We even met 3 generations of the Smilie family at the restored Quality Plus Furniture showroom! 📸
Since 2020, £2 million has helped revitalise the Mill Race area in the city centre.

👩⚕️ The Royal Lancaster Infirmary is not fit for the future, and that a new hospital is needed.
🙋♀️ I have been relentlessly pushing to get us a new hospital, and deliver better healthcare services for everyone across Lancaster and Wyre.

💧I presented a petition in the House of Commons in response to Ofwat’s proposal to see the cost of water bills increase year on year.
📣 This petition calls on the Government to review all appropriate measures to mitigate the impact of these increases on household bills!

🧚♀️ What an amazing Preesall and Knott End Gala day! Thank you to all the organisers, and everyone who joined in and came out to see the parade.

This may be the only time I ever land a joke this well in the chamber of the House of Commons and I’ll take that…

📝 I’ve visited Cawthorne’s Endowed Primary School in Abbeystead today. It’s lovely to take questions from the children who recently had a trip to the Houses of Parliament.
🌺 Then, onto meet the volunteers at Garstang in Bloom and thank them for making our high street buzz!
