Yesterday here in Corby, Jeremy Corbyn chose to launch Labour’s plan for a better future. As the Labour candidate for this constituency, it was great to host the event and ensure our area got some national attention.
A Level Results 2019
Posted on 20th Aug 2019 in News
Thinking of everyone getting their results today. A stressful but hopefully an exciting time too. For those who didn’t get the results they wanted and might be feeling a little lost, remember you don’t need to know what you want to do at 18 - ‘the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.’ 😉😘
Lots of options for people to consider: UCAS Clearing, further study with Tresham and the option of an apprenticeship where you’re paid to study!
Mary Butcher
Posted on 20th Aug 2019 in News
Today we said ‘goodbye’ to Cllr Mary Butcher. Mary was a fantastic local champion and the turnout showed just how well respected, from across the political spectrum, Mary was. Lee did a brilliant eulogy - I have nothing but respect for the people who have the courage to speak at a loved ones funeral.
One thing that came across was Mary’s passion for fighting injustice and her determination. She was a strong voice for our community and while working at Asda became a well know local figure, raising thousands for charities.
It struck me as poignant that today also marks GMB Union’s ‘action day’ against the new contacts being pushed on Asda workers by what strikes me as the greediness of top dogs. I can imagine if Mary was still working there, she would be up in arms, standing up against this injustice.

Incinerator Plans in Corby Borough
Posted on 5th Aug 2019 in Campaigning, News
You might have heard about plans to impose a new incinerator in Corby and for rubbish from elsewhere to be imported in and disposed of here. I’m not an expert in this area (who is!?) but the incinerator will burn rubbish, about 260,000 tones per year, to produce electricity and could have a damaging environmental impact on the area.
