Today is #SelfHarmAwarenessDay. People turn to self harm for respite and escape, not for pain. That is why it is vital to reduce the stigma and dispel the myths around self harm and be there to help and support those who need us.

By redirecting money that would have been spent on HS2 we are now seeing more investment in local transport including more money to fill potholes & extending the £2 bus fare cap. Working with @transportgovuk we are levelling up #Eddisbury & transforming how people travel. (2/2)

I welcome the £349,115,000 for Cheshire as part of the Government’s long-term plan to level up local transport in Eddisbury. This will provide almost 11 million people across the region with nearly 9 times more transport funding. (1/2)

Measles cases are on the rise in England. You can still ask your GP practice for the MMR vaccine if your child has missed either of the 2 required doses. Anyone else of any age who has not received the MMR vaccine should also call their GP practice. (1/2)
