Earlier I spoke with Unite and BEIS Minister Nadhim Zahawi MP, concerning the Airbus announcement re job losses.

We agreed that aerospace is key to the UK economic future, and the need to retain the skills and engineering expertise we have especially in the South West.

Interviewed by ITV West Country regarding the Airbus announcement re job losses.

I stressed the need for additional Government support to protect the world leading aerospace expertise and capabilities we have in our area.

This afternoon I met with local Parish Councillor, Mike Pruett  and local residents to discuss a noise complaint affecting #SevernBeach.

Great to be back at the Wild Place Project today, which is open again to visitors!

All visits now have to be pre booked online.

Visited The Mall at Cribbs Causeway earlier today on the first day of its re-opening to shoppers.

Thank you to all of the staff working at the Mall for ensuring shopping can resume in a safe manner.

Thank you to Southern Brooks Community Partnership for the certificate I received this morning.

It was a real privilege to work with other local volunteers to support the crucial service you provided to vulnerable families across South Gloucestershire.

A very disappointing response from the Prime Minister in relation to the boarding up of the statue of Winston Churchill and the Cenotaph just weeks after the whole country commemorated VE Day.

You cannot give in to the rule of the mob by appeasing thugs and criminals.

With the slow down in the aviation industry, local jobs in Airbus, Rolls Royce and GKN are being affected; I asked what the Government could do to help both protect local jobs and our world leading manufacturing capability in civil aerospace and crucially, defence.

Today I spoke with West of England Combined Authority Mayor, Tim Bowles - we discussed the newly created West of England Economic Recovery Board that the Mayor launched earlier today, and will help our regional economy restart and renew as lock down is eased.

I was very pleased to be able to help out Southern Brooks Community Partnerships delivering food to vulnerable families across our area this afternoon.

Many thanks to all of the local volunteers who are coordinating the community effort.
