I'm proud to be doing things differently in our new chapter for the West.
It's fantastic that the Minister for Investment, Jason Stockwood, also sees the huge potential our region offers and shares our ambition to deliver growth and change that everyone can see and feel.

I've got one job: to make a difference for people in our region. Next week's budget is a big moment, and I'm confident that together we are finally making the case for what the West needs.

The West has had more job growth in clean energy than any other region over the last ten years.
It was great to show Great British Energy how green investment is key for our future, delivering the infrastructure to lower people's bills and create new jobs.

It was incredible to visit Fashion Museum Bath in its temporary home in Warminster.
The impressive collection of over 100,000 pieces spans from 1600 to the present day and is a huge asset to the West, with plans for a brand-new museum to open in 2030.

A pleasure to catch up with Damien Egan MP and to meet the Fishponds Community Planning Group.
Talking to local people underlines how important things like bus infrastructure and community space are - real priorities in this new chapter for the West!
