This afternoon, I had a productive meeting with Avon and Somerset Police Chief Superintendent Mark Edgington at Minehead Police Station.
It was useful to speak with Mark about tackling antisocial behaviour and their plans to address rural crime and violence against women and children.

A number of constituents have contacted my office to raise their concerns about the increasing number of text message scams, also known as 'smishing'.
I wrote to the Minister to ask what the Govt is doing to ensure that penalties reflect the scale, organisation and harm of these crimes.

This afternoon, I asked the Prime Minister how the Govt plans to improve support for those suffering with long-term pain.
I now look forward to meeting with the relevant minister to work on this specific constituent case, as well as discussing the Govt's wider strategy.

Earlier this week, I called for a joined-up, neuro-optimal pathway to care for those with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, MS, ME, and CFS.
The Govt must do more to support those with neurological conditions by implementing a coherent national strategy.

With just a week left to go until the Budget, I have put together my requests for the Chancellor.
I hope that next week the Government will address some of the issues to help move our region, and country, forward.
Tiverton and Minehead cannot be ignored again.
