On Friday I sat down with Debbie McCallum, landlady of The Bell in Kesgrave to talk about how the government's plans to lift rate relief on pubs will affect her business, and hundreds of other pubs across my constituency.
From Needham Market to Wickham Market, Framlingham, Debenham and Ipswich... business plays a huge role in our daily lives, in our community and is part of Suffolk's identity. Our market towns are thriving hubs of small business and our farms export products across the world.
It was a pleasure to hold another public meeting on Friday evening, this time in Grundisburgh, to discuss hypothetical plans for a Northern Bypass. It was the first time I really outlined many of my concerns about the project.
