Gareth Davies MP was delighted to open the new Costcutter on Green Lane in Stamford this morning. The new store will not just bring convenience to the local community but also 7 new jobs which during this coronavirus crisis is extremely welcome news. 

I am very proud to have many fantastic organisations based our area, but one in particular is engaged in work that will be vital to future generations. The Woodland Trust, is the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity and we are lucky to have them headquartered here in Lincolnshire.

Tomorrow we mark Armed Forces Day. This is a day to honour and pay our respects to the veterans and brave men and women who serve across the world on our behalf.

Today Gareth Davies MP raised the issue of "temporary" changes made this week by the NHS Trust - ULHT, with the Secretary of State for Health to call on the Trust to ensure that the changes are indeed temporary and that COVID is not used as cover for more permanent changes. 

Like many people I have found it hard to watch the tv recently as hundreds of our police officers have endured several days and nights of public unrest on the streets around Westminster and across our country.

Gareth has visited local shops in Grantham to wish them all good luck as they begin to re-open after the coronavirus lockdown. He visited the well-known Kays of Grantham to celebrate the fact that we can now start to get our local economy open again.

The future of Grantham Hospital is a discussion that has been spoken in the front rooms and backyards of our town and nearby villages for years. Grantham is growing, we all know this.

One of the benefits of becoming an independent country again is the ability to forge new trading relationships with countries such as the U.S. and Japan.

Like everyone else I have been reliant on video conferencing and even the old-fashioned telephone to check in with some of our local organisations recently. One of my favourite meetings has been with the fantastic organisation Second Helpings in Stamford.
