Medals

Diamond Jubilee Medals have been presented to infant, junior and special school children, to commemorate this (almost!) unique occasion – I challenge anyone to remember the last one!

Regular in-ward surgery: Jubilee or no Jubilee – I will be out and about on Saturday morning supporting residents keeping the ward safe, followed by 10:30-12noon the opportunity to come along and discuss issues/concerns you have that I can help with at West Area Housing Office, Mendip Road (next to St Cedd’s Church).
