Hospitality hustings have just started.
Only candidate to decline the event was Mike Martin showing he doesn't care about #TunbridgeWells & clearly doesn't have the calibre to be a good constituency MP
Glad to be told by Government that my and @DXW_KC ‘s Private Member’s Bill - now the Protection from Sex-based Harassment in Public Act - will come into force on 1st October.
From that date intentionally harassing women in public will be a specific crime for the first time.
@1988Harrington 2022 / 23 TWBC capital reverses were funded from revenue.
The "black hole" and near bankruptcy claims by the coalition in their leaflets & online were outrageous lies.
RVP deal was only possible due to capital & cash reserves built up by @ConservativesTW over the last decade.
@martinbrice1@RTWCS@MailOnline@decimus_the I raised a motion to have the property removed from the asset disposal list. The monitoring officer would only allow a deferral request to Cabinet until the town centre strategy is formulated with consideration of the museum. That's what I voted for.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK has leapfrogged France to become the 8th largest manufacturer in the world.
With an annual output of £224 billion, the buoyant sector now supports 2.6 million jobs according to new data released this morning by trade association @MakeUK_ .
The figures are contained in the latest annual ‘Manufacturing – The Facts’ which contains a wide variety of data about the contribution of manufacturing to the economy including exports, sectoral breakdown, how the UK compares to other nations and salary levels.
Make UK estimates that if the Government commits to its call for a manufacturing target of 15% of GDP, this will add an additional £142 billion to the UK economy. #UKmfg
My reasons for opposing selective parking fees for Dunorlan Park and why I believe they're unjustified in this week's Tunbridge Wells Times.

When the coalition took over TWBC they created 2 additional cabinet positions at a cost of circa £22,000 and now Tunbridge Wells loses its public loos to save £23,000. No consultation with public or council. Appalling democracy.
An update for my constituents on the Pembury Road gas main repairs.
Good news that 2 teams, rather than 1, have been working all week and have made solid progress.
Signage improved around diversion route, but better enforcement of HGV restrictions needed.

MOTORISTS contravening a bus lane in Tunbridge Wells could see their fines overturned as incorrect wording on the letters has meant the fines are legally defective.

I said that some of the signage was inadequate on Pembury Road gas main repairs.
Residents agreed and I have asked SGN to:
• install a clearer warning against turning into Blackhurst Lane (a dead end)
• install more signs warning HGVs not to use Liptraps Lane

As part of the Kingstanding biz park funding I have asked for HGV ANPR
