In a recent speech on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, I spoke about the crucial role local councillors played in improving plans for over 4,000 homes at Valley Park in Didcot — securing better healthcare provision and active travel links.
This is exactly why local voices matter.

Cracking start to the day! After the daily 45 min beamline tango, our fastest 500Hz test run with whisper-thin transmission (1.5 MGy) and tight 20µm vertical beam just spat out ISa~40 and inner shell Rmeas of 2.7%. Fingers crossed the samples play nice too! 🙏 #MX #Crystallography #Science"
