I presented today a petition @GlosCC from residents who live along the A436 between Bourton and Andoversford. They’re calling for a lower speed limit and road safety measures following accidents along that road this year. #roadsafety #Cotswolds

Digital labs in some of Gloucestershire’s libraries - like this one in Chipping Campden - are an incredible community asset. 3D printing, LEGO design and more. Go and see for yourself what you can do!

Good piece on BBCPoliticsWest about National Star College students & the challenges they face for funding when they leave education. It’s an amazing place in the North Cotswolds which I’ve supported enthusiastically.
