So please consider emailing your MP to ask them to support the PAPA Amendment to the upcoming Employment Rights Bill to improve parental leave for dads. Use this website to quickly and easily send an email straight to your MP!

Here in the UK we have some of the worst paternity leave entitlement in the world, and we know now more than ever that the whole family deserves a chance to bond and support each other in the easy days - and that takes a lot longer than 14 days.

I think so, unfortunately. I’m trying to get more bins installed along the riverside walk too which I was told was going to happen but it’s been a slow burn!
It’s a mix of money being tight both to install the bins in the first place and then add them to the routes to be collected

So I’ve asked officers at Norwich City Council to look at getting some rubbish bins installed to hopefully prevent at least SOME of the litter!

The perfect test case would be Anglia Square.
A huge development in one of the less affluent areas of the city. Ensure the development contains a good number of affordable homes and build spaces for the community to use to bring everyone together.

Now, I’m working with the steering group to submit our findings to Norfolk County Council and get this feasibility study underway.
