Simon has met Energy Ministers including Secretary of State Greg Clark (pictured in Guisborough) for talks about how local industry can work in partnership with the Government to deliver the first Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) operation in Britain.

After meeting residents and Councillor Graham Jeffery in Hutton ward on Friday to discuss the site clearance off Meynell Avenue, I sat down with your local Conservative councillors.

I was out and about with my little boy Ed when we bumped into all the team cleaning up Stewart Park, Middlesbrough. This was a fantastic effort and it was great to see so many friends, including Maria Cairns-Lord, Carolyn Dodds, Jon Rathmell, Dave James Tate and Jan Mohan!
