I am so pleased to hear that the North Yorkshire Moors Railway has been awarded £4.6M by the National Lottery.

North Yorkshire police has identified more sites for safety camera vehicles in the Crambeck area of the A64, following four deaths on that stretch of the road earlier in the summer.

I met with residents in Hutton le Hole, who were understandably frustrated by the delay in the delivery of superfast broadband to their village. BT had promised them that it would be available by the end of June, but it has now been delayed until the end of October.

I’m pleased to hear that there’s been another round of Rural Development Programme funding for farmers. For the first time there will be specific funding available to invest in new infrastructure, such as new buildings and machinery as well as broadband projects.

So, here we are again. It’s the summer recess and I can almost hear the collective sigh of relief around the country. There is no doubt that the British people are fed up with politics and fed up with the petty squabbling at this very important moment in our country’s history.

BT has at last offered to provide the necessary infrastructure for 99% of premises in the UK to get superfast broadband by 2020.

I was delighted to be able to assist a number of constituents who had contacted me regarding the new train services running to and from Scarborough, to Bridlington and through to Sheffield.

I am fully supportive of the Government’s clean air strategy which will include banning the sale of new diesel and petrol cars from 2040. This can only be good news for towns like Malton and Norton where the pollution levels are often dangerously high.

I had the pleasure of meeting pupils and staff at Langton Primary School near Malton in the last week of term.  Headteacher, Rachel Ray, told me about the challenges facing rural schools.

After months of campaigning, I am delighted that the Government has announced that it will not fine social care providers who have been found to have underpaid workers for ‘sleep-in’ shifts before 26th July 2017.
