Fireworks

Whilst fireworks can be entertaining, I fully appreciate and understand the distress that the loud bangs and bright lights can cause to people, especially the elderly, those with learning difficulties, ex-service men and women, and animals. I am also aware of the injuries related to fireworks that can be caused…

Unfair Parking Charges

I share your concern about this issue as I know that unfair parking charges can be a cause of real frustration and a significant cost for many people. Data from the Citizens Advice Bureau has shown that 10,000 people sought advice about a private parking ticket last year and I…

As you may know the Civil Liability Bill has three parts: Deals with whiplash Deals with the personal injury discount rate Sets out the final provisions and deals with regulations, extent, commencement and short title.

Autumn Budget
