Thank you!

Dear?John, The news that our local NHS will receive hundreds of millions of pounds of investment is welcome. But I feel apprehensive about it. The Government have made assurances in the past but then backtracked on their promise. That's why I have written to the Health Secretary, Mat…

Quite simply outrageous.

Dear?John, The Mayor of London has given Sutton less money than any other borough. That is quite simply outrageous. Figures show that just ?16 million of the Mayor's capital funding has been allocated to Sutton. Bromley, on the other hand, got ?43 million, Croydon got ?194 million an…

Back to school ✏

Dear?John, Schools might be back this week, but the Government are still failing the grade on funding. Their latest announcement doesn't get full marks -- it will only see more funding go into schools next year. That isn't good enough. Teachers are struggling to buy basic supplies no…
