I met with Liam and Sara-Jane at SGS College WISE Campus to discuss the difficulties students are having with bus services. This is a serious issue for students as disruption to their public transport services causes equivalent disruption to their education.
I spoke in a debate secured by Luke Hall MP on train services across South Gloucestershire where I raised the planned new railway station on the YTL Filton airfield site. I was very pleased to hear Luke and the Minister expressing their support.
I Visited GKN Global Technology Centre in Filton supporting technological innovation and sustainable development. We discussed STEM engagement with local schools and colleges and their apprenticeships program, which will help inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists.
At Bowsland Green I enjoyed taking questions from the pupils and discussing my role as an MP. It was great to outline why politics is important and how young people can get involved.
Pleased to have welcomed and hosted Airbus Helicopters to the House of Commons today. I met some fantastic apprentices, especially Bradley Morgan who made an inspirational speech.
I was delighted to be able to ask the Prime Minister to join me in paying tribute to everyone who works at MOD Defence Equipment and Support and all they do to help arm the Ukrainians.
Today at Brabazon with the team from YTL we discussed the planned Brabazon station and was pleased to hear that constructive conversations have been taking place between the West of England Combined Authority, Network Rail and YTL which could see the project being completed in Autumn of 2025.
Today I visited the Brabazon development and met with Colin, Seb and Andrew at YTL to show my support for the building of this new community in our area which will now provide 3,000 more homes than originally anticipated.
It was great to meet with Rachel, Martin, Karen and Joe from Stagecoach at their depot on Gypsy Patch Lane who were very enthusiastic about the prospects for their Bristol operations. They are planning to begin a full refurbishment of the site starting in early 2023.
