Huw is encouraging his constituents to get outdoors and enjoy the landscape and wildlife of RSPB Fore Wood nature reserve.

Before my week in the constituency office, I found it easy to overlook the importance of an MP in their constituency, especially when the media tends to focus on Parliament and the national changes that occur.

The Civil Liability Bill had its second reading and I delivered a speech focusing on the cost of insurance for young people. View the full speech here: https://goo.gl/hThP9d and read below:

Huw called into Pevensey Court House Museum and Gaol during the summer to see the latest additions to the museum’s collections and the restored prison cells of this small but significant building in Pevensey.

Next week, after a summer getting across the constituency, I am back in Parliament. On the first day back, we are debating the introduction of the Civil Liability Bill.

Huw Merriman MP for Bexhill and Battle visited Ticehurst Community Pharmacy to hear about the work the pharmacy team are doing to help residents in Ticehurst to stay well.

My day, organised by Pevensey Bay District Councillor, Cllr Lin Clark, begins with a visit to the team who run Pevensey Bay Country Market, a co-operative enterprise selling local produce.

Huw held public meetings last week in Bexhill, Battle and Heathfield to explain the process of the UK leaving the EU and discuss the options with residents. The meetings were attended by over 500 people who gave their views to their MP. 

Bexhill MP Huw Merriman met with senior directors from Bovis Homes in north Bexhill last Wednesday (22nd August) to hear more about their plans for housing, following his recent call for action on the designated housing sites for the town.

My day begins with a visit to Ninfield CoE Primary School. It is the last day of term. I start with a meeting with Chris, the Headteacher, and Ian, the Head of Governors. I have been working closely with the school, local Councillors and other members of the community to persuade East Sussex County Council to fund the redevelopment of some classrooms which have reached the end of shelf life.
