Statement on Perkins Engines, 1st April 2020

“While we are all sorry to see production cease, I welcome the news that Perkins Engines will furlough workers during their shutdown.

People are proving every day what a special city Peterborough is.

It is brilliant rough sleepers have been given secure and safe hotel accommodation through the work of those at the Garden House.

Three businesses in #Peterborough making efforts to support vulnerable people during this difficult time. 

Hats off to Rizq Peri Peri Grill for giving away meals, G.M. Electrical with emergency call outs, and Luxe Taxi Peterborough for free rides for patients. 

More help for self-employed on its way. Leave your #coronavirus questions in the comments and I’ll answer them in my vlog posts! #covid19uk #stayhomesavelives👇

#Peterborough is a caring city. We all need to pull together at this time. Peterborough City Council have established a volunteer hub. 

Look after your City, your community, your family and of course yourselves.

This past Friday I held my constituency surgery at McDonald’s in Queensgate. 

Also a shout out to Peterborough Labour Party and Lisa Forbes who want me to promote health choices #proudofpeterborough

Very pleased yesterday to have been appointed the parliamentary champion for the Conservative Disability Group at their AGM. Means a lot to me! 

Our country won’t reach its potential until everyone who has a disability is able and empowered to fulfil their potential.

Great business walkabout in central Peterborough talking about the #Budget2020 and business response to Coronavirus with Khazar Suleman for Central Ward. Super welcome from the community and resilient business owners - they make me #proudofpeterborough

It shouldn’t be the case that Peterborough and Fenland patients are routinely sent to Cambridge for angioplasty and other cardiac services - I want to see some of these services delivered locally in #Peterborough and have asked the Secretary of State Matt Hancock to support me.
