We had a long and productive meeting discussing a variety of issues including healthcare, post-16 transport, businesses; policing, anti-social behaviour, illegal parking in the town and flooding.” The MP has also attended Kirby Stephen Mart to carry out “important discussions” on issues facing the farming and agricultural sector.
