Hello and welcome to my weekly update!

As we head into recess, I've been busy helping out our fantastic Labour candidate Azhar Ali, who is standing in the Rochdale By-Election after the passing of our late friend, Sir Tony Lloyd.

The whole of our Labour movement is pulling together and doing everything we can to ensure we get Azhar elected, and deliver a result Tony would be proud of.

HIGHLIGHTS

As the Labour Party's Political Lead for the North-West, I've been working with colleagues from across our region and beyond in the run up to polling day in the Rochdale by-election.

We have a fantastic candidate in Azhar Ali who is campaigning tirelessly, whether on re-opening Rochdale's maternity unit, getting more bobbies on the beat, or making sure work pays through Labour's New Deal for Working People.

Azhar will be a great local MP, and I look forward to continuing the fight over the just 20 days left before polling day to make sure we get him over the line, and do Tony proud.

We had a great turnout for the Friends of the Tame Valley down at the Fairlea Wildflower Meadow last weekend.

Last year’s growth had to be cut down and the area raked over to be able to encourage the new growth of wildflowers this year. The field looked stunning in the summer so hopefully it will again!

It’s backbreaking work but thanks to all who came to help, including two new young volunteers, Sebastian and Billy.
it was great to touch base with Lucy and Dave at Right at Home.

They’re providing fabulous home care services across south Manchester and Cheshire and were very keen to hear about Labour’s plans for a National Care Service which will help to promote more at-home care and independent living where appropriate.
I had a really positive chat with the managers at Stockport Business and Innovation Centre at Broadstone Mill.

SBIC is a perfect hub for start-ups, SMEs, and growing businesses with dedicated offices and flexible coworking spaces tailored to the needs of each business.

The support they give to new start-ups is amazing too. It’s a great facility for the local and sub-regional economy.

A big shoutout to the team at Reddish Morrisons and particularly Michelle Stokes, their Community Champion, for their great work in creating a child friendly checkout and colouring corner in the café.

It's a great initiative that will hopefully make going out to the supermarket with little ones an easier experience for mums and dads!
Andrew in the the media

Here in Tameside, we have always prided ourselves on the strength of our community spirit.

Always looking out for each other, taking pride in our local area, and not being shy to muck in when there’s something that needs fixing.

It is these ideals that drove me into community service when I was first elected as a local councillor back in 1996, and then as one of Tameside’s Members of Parliament in 2005.

And it is those same ideals that underpin my politics, and the history of our proud Labour movement.

Every Labour government has come into office with a mission to transform the country.

Attlee was faced with a country on its knees after the war, fought to create the NHS and the welfare state to get the nation back on its feet and fit to face the future.

Wilson saw a country in desperate need of radical progress and was relentless in his pursuit of the white heat of technology and fundamental social reform.

Blair took public services that were crumbling and transformed them to be truly fit for the 21^st century.

Each of those changes were underpinned by civil society already driving change in their local communities, coming together to work for the common good.

The next Labour government will need to be equally determined in their mission driven pursuit of delivering a decade of national renewal.

But if they need inspiration, they need only look to our very own community here in Tameside.

As the Secretary of Friends of the Tame Valley, I see first hand the passion local people have for our environment and green spaces, always working to keep them in good shape and protect them for future generations.

It is the work of groups like FOTV that keeps environmental issues on the agenda, and whether it’s tidying up a local wildflower meadow, or fighting against the dumping of sewage and chemicals in waterways, they won’t be slowing up any time soon.

Similarly, I’ve seen the revival of Denton Carnival first hand, with people coming together to ensure a great community event is once again given the opportunity to thrive.

I look forward to continuing work with the Carnival Committee to deliver the biggest and best carnival yet later this year.

The Tameside spirit that volunteers like this show will always be the foundation of why I’m in politics, and is one Westminster could learn plenty from.
