I'll be taking my Road Safety Plans Bill to Parliament later today.

The Bill would require every local authority to step up and provide a tailored road safety plan for every school in their area.

No parent, child, teacher or resident should feel unsafe on the school run.

If you didn't manage to pick up a copy of The Sentinel yesterday, you can read my column below.

It was great to welcome residents from across Clayton and the Westlands to my coffee morning at Our Lady & St Werburgh's Church Hall last week.

Thank you to everyone who came along to raise issues, share their views, and enjoy a cuppa and a slice of cake.
