Jake Richards MP for Rother Valley https://jakerichards.co.uk Wed, 20 Nov 2024 19:15:40 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7 233954058 Todwick Public Meeting https://jakerichards.co.uk/2024/11/20/todwick-public-meeting/ Wed, 20 Nov 2024 18:58:14 +0000 https://jakerichards.co.uk/?p=1048 Thank you to all the residents in Todwick who attended the public meeting last Friday, with discussion centred around the state of the roads and pavements, speeding on the A57, the solar farm proposal and questions about national policy. 

As promised, I am working with the police to hold a meeting about speeding on the A57 and will communicate with residents when we have a date, time and venue confirmed. 

If you need my assistance, do email jake.richards.mp@parliament.uk and my team and I are always happy to help

The Bill proposes to legislate to ‘allow adults who are terminally ill, subject to safeguards and protections, to request and be provided with assistance to end their own life; and for connected purposes’.

The last online meeting I held on this was really powerful and allowed for both sides of the discussion to be explored. Many voiced their opinions, asked questions, and engaged in a meaningful conversation. To give as many people the opportunity to share their views, and to listen to others, I will be holding another online public meeting on Monday 25th November at 7pm.
