THIS week I wrote to every pub in the constituency (almost 200 of them!) asking them to participate in my inaugural Pub Survey.

I spoke in favour of the continued roll-out of Universal Credit, the Government's simplification of the benefits system which aims to help people back into work.

IT’S a modern-day truism that the internet has revolutionised our lives. Nothing has changed the way we live more than a technology invented by a Briton – Sir Tim Berners-Lee – just 27 years ago.

Richmond MP Rishi Sunak took part in a special school assembly held to teach children to use the internet safely and responsibly.

Campaigners put their best foot forward to raise awareness of the impact of dementia and raise money while doing so.

Toddlers enjoyed a storytime session with their MP at Bedale Community Library.

Rishi Sunak, MP for Richmond, kept a longstanding promise to read to youngsters at the library which became a volunteer-run community library in Bedale Hall earlier this year.

I make no apology for returning to a subject which has already featured many times in this column: the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton.

Richmond MP Rishi Sunak has urged his constituents to join a conversation about the future of emergency care services at the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton.

Rishi Sunak joined a celebration to mark the start of building work on the £10m Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre at the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton, as part of the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.

I confess that I could only give two cheers to last week’s announcement that part of the upgraded A1 between Leeming and Barton was to finally open.
