Huw spoke at the fourth Bees' Needs Champion Awards - an annual event where farmers, community and school groups are celebrated and awarded for their work in raising awareness of the needs of pollinators.

At the second reading of the Agriculture Bill yesterday (Wednesday 10th October), Huw added to calls for food production and food security to be included in the Bill.

Huw Merriman spoke in the debate on Road Safety around Schools in a Westminster Hall Debate. This follows support for campaigns for speed restrictions near Vinehall School, Robertsbridge, and a puffin crossing installation outside Punnetts Town Primary School, Heathfield.

During questions to the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Michael Ellis, I asked the Minister if he would give more support to community groups such as Pevensey Volunteers who have saved their local library from closure.
