Memorable moments of this week for me were:
Going to the opening of the new Car Care Centre at North Lindsey College
Meeting the leadership of North Lincolnshire Council
Taking part in the North Lincolnshire Multi-Faith Partnership's International Peace Day Event
Meeting Snaith & Cowick Town Council and listening to their description of various police officers and councillors (it was a private meeting).
Having a drink in London with Greg Knight MP at the brilliantly named pub - The Elusive Camel
Taking a delegation from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council & Hull City Council to meet Hilary Benn at DEFRA
Attending the annual Holocaust Educational Trust Appeal Dinner and listening to John Hurt being interviewed by Angela Rippon
Cutting the first sod in Brigg for the new Bridges Project providing education & training for adults with learning needs
Watching the Bridlington Classic Pop Singers perform for the Mayor of Goole's Charity Appeal
Meeting RES Ltd to explain how it is possible to transport their wind farm construction materials without annoying everyone
Meeting Head of Highways at North Lincolnshire Council to discuss the above and other issues
Visiting the wonderful 1000 year old St Mary's Church in Barnetby with the Church Trust
Learning that not only did North Lincolnshire Council pass a resolution on wind farms that said they would always put the interests of local people and the local environment in front of those seeking monetary gain but that the Tories voted against this!
Getting a cheap laugh at the Bridges sod cutting when the Head of the Vale of Ancholme School/College was introduced as both a Head and a Principal and I said she would always be a Head to me because as a politician I couldn't recognise a principle if I wanted to (this is better said than in writing!).
And for the weekend I have:
Surgeries in Crowle & Epworth
Grimsby v Darlington
Charity Fundraising Doo in Snaith
Then to Brighton for the Labour Party Conference.
It's all go!!!
