Tessa - guest speaker at Flourish Homes residents meeting
New!
Thu 2nd Sep 2010
Tessa Munt the local MP for Wells was delighted to attend the August housing meeting for residents of Flourish Homes as the guest speaker. Around fifty residents from the Mendip area took the opportunity to come to the Town Hall in Glastonbury to hear what Ms Munt had to say and ask her questions. Tessa commented that housing is a 'fantastic topic' and encouraged residents to come to her as much as possible with their views, ideas and experiences, reassuring them it was an area she intends to highly prioritise. The main issues and views raised by residents were focused on the area of care and support including the provision of support workers, issues surrounding anti social behaviour and the provision of new local housing for the future. Tessa had a wonderful time meeting residents and plans to work with Flourish Homes and attend more of these events in the future.

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified. "
Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake. "
Simon Hughes MP
Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July
"With more than half of ASBOs breached in 2008, this was a policy more about posturing than effective policing. Local communities know that other measures, such as Acceptable Behaviour Contracts can nip problems in the bud before they escalate. "
Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Justice, Tom Brake MP
Commenting on speech by the Home Secretary in which she said it was 'time to move beyond Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) - 28 July
