Caroline Ansell has officially opened Sovereign Lodge Assisted Living’s brand-new Coffee Pod.

The pod is a new space for residents to relax, celebrate and meet with loved ones who are visiting.

Anne was a dear friend, a close colleague and I feel her loss.

She loved Eastbourne and Old Town most particularly where she was recognised as a real community champion and had many friends.

Eastbourne MP Caroline Ansell is backing a memorial honouring forces’ sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn, who famously sang morale boosting songs like 'We’ll Meet Again' during World War Two.

This week the Rwanda Bill did finally pass though all its parliamentary stages after a long night in Parliament.

Back to Parliament and a packed programme starting with the government’s plan to deter illegal and dangerous small boat crossings. There will be further exchanges with The House of Lords in an exchange known as ´ping pong’ but next week should see this brought to a conclusion.

Eastbourne is home to 35 nurseries and many more childminders who do wonderful work looking after our children.

This is a sector I very much support and value and I have visited many nurseries over the years to see their good work and dedication.

Caroline Ansell met with Marie Curie nurses and the charity’s ambassador and former footballer Chris Kamara at a Westminster event recently.

The reception was promoting Marie Curie’s manifesto for palliative and end of life care.

Caroline joined Langney Primary School’s Council for a special question and answer session about her work in Westminster and in the town.

She took questions ranging from what led her into politics, her strangest visit and what's the most important thing an MP does.

I hope you had a good Easter and were able to take some time with family and friends. 

Many worked keeping us safe, healthy, or supplied over the Bank Holiday weekend and a huge thank you to them. With a major food poisoning incident to deal with, the DGH had unexpected pressure too.

Monday morning and my first port of call this week was at the DGH, specifically to meet staff in the paediatric department.
