A good if windy afternoon campaigning for the excellent Conservative candidates in the Southampton City Council elections. Thank you to the team from Fareham who joined me. Plenty more to do between now and Polling Day.

I was pleased to be the speaker for the Solent Business Breakfast held at Avenue 141 at Fareham College. Speaking about the work of Fareham Borough Council around economic development focusing on Solent Airport@Daedalus as well as local planning issues and housing development.

Thank you to David Adams for organising the event and to everyone who attended.

It was a pleasure today to be able to play a part in the opening at Royal Victoria Country Park of this amazing Chris Bain chainsaw carving of a 250 year old cedar which sadly needed to be felled.

The owls, dragons, princesses, castle, etc will bring pleasure for generations to come and I applaud Fairways Care trustees for providing the funding for the work.
