Maggie Throup OBE MP, Member of Parliament for Erewash, has welcomed the news that the Canaan Trust and Every One Eats have been awarded funding as part of the Government’s Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund (CCLF).
Having had the immense privilege of serving as the Member of Parliament for Erewash for the last eight and a half years, which is reward in itself, I am both thrilled and humbled to receive an OBE in the New Years Honours List.
I am delighted that the Government is honouring their commitment and supporting those over the State Pension age across the country and Erewash this Christmas.
To help those across the country and in Erewash make the Christmas getaway easier, the Government are lifting 98 per cent of roadworks on motorways and major A-roads until 2 January 2024.
Notable routes to benefit from roadworks being lifted for the festive period includes:
One of the roles I find most rewarding as a Member of Parliament is inspiring the next generation of Erewash students to get involved in politics. This week I had the pleasure of welcoming schoolchildren from Ladywood Primary School, Kirk Hallam to Westminster.
Maggie Throup, Member of Parliament for Erewash, has welcomed the news that Derbyshire County Council Councillors have rejected proposals to introduce a blanket 20mph speed limit in Long Eaton at Council Cabinet meeting today.
The Met Office has issued a Yellow Rain Warning for Erewash and the East Midlands until 8pm tonight. There is likely to be periods of persistent and heavy rainfall lasting until Friday. This will could bring travel disruption and a potential risk of flooding to our area.
As Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Diagnostics, I am delighted the new Health Secretary, Rt Hon Victoria Atkins MP, has confirmed that she will meet with the APPG.
