Encouraging people to come together to make their communities better places to live and work is an important part of my role as your local MP.

In recent weeks I have seen – and supported – many examples of towns and villages in our part of Yorkshire doing just that.

A development which has created three affordable homes for rent in a Yorkshire Dales village has been opened by Rishi.

The MP cut a ribbon to formally mark the completion of the refurbishment of an almost derelict building in the centre of Askrigg.

Rishi joined maths, art and food technology classes during his visit to Richmond’s St Francis Xavier School.

He also met student body representatives to answer their questions about his work as Prime Minister and his life in Westminster.

Rishi has welcomed the opening to the public of the ancient Thornborough Henges, near Bedale

Rishi visited RAFA Kidz Leeming as the nursery celebrated its one-year anniversary.   

Rishi has opened new premises for an expanding family business in Richmond.

The Health Food Shop has moved into a bigger shop unit in the town’s Finkle Street and rebranded as Nourished.

I hope you have all completed your festive preparations and are looking forward to the Christmas break.

Rishi has urged all those eligible to get their free winter flu vaccination.

During a visit to Richmond, he called at Boots Pharmacy in the Market Place to have and pay for his booked vaccination.

Rishi helped a local business with its annual festive charity fundraising effort.

He visited Whitegates Nursery to help prepare Christmas trees which are sold with a proportion of the sale proceeds being given to a local cancer charity.

Just one aspect of representing this wonderful part of North Yorkshire is that parts of my patch cover not one but two of the UK’s National Parks.
