Steve Double is MP for St Austell and Newquay

I know how important the issue of untreated sewer outflows is to people locally.

I look forward to seeing the outcome of the OEP’s investigation & hope this will continue the journey to cleaner waters we all want to see.

I welcome the additional funding and investment into our NHS mental health services announced this week. This will improve the support given to people needing to access these services in #Cornwall, who are often incredibly vulnerable and at crisis point.

Delighted that @Asda and @AsdaFoundation have awarded an Investing in Spaces and Places grant worth £6500 to an organisation in our area. This will be used to improve and transform local community facilities. Read more here: https://tinyurl.com/bdzf5hre

Yesterday I visited @BugleSchool, where I spoke to Year 6 pupils about their recent visit to #Parliament & took a variety of questions on them about improvements they would like to see in the local area. I am very happy to visit schools across Mid-Cornwall to talk about my work

As we build back after Covid-19 @DofE is needed more than ever. Doing DofE builds teamwork, resilience, problem solving & helps young people to realise potential. I’m so proud of all the young people in #StAustell & #Newquay who've made this a record-breaking year for take up.

A pleasure to welcome our PM to #RoyalCornwallShow today

Despite all that's been going on, amazing to witness positive response & so many wanting to talk to the PM

@BorisJohnson has already delivered amazing support for our Duchy & there is no doubt he will continue to do so

This announcement is a giant leap for #Newquay and the Cornish space sector, and something I have worked hard to make happen since I was first elected in 2015.

Issues with pollution of seas and rivers remain something that many local people contact me about, and it was good to meet with @SouthWestWater in #Newquay to discuss what they are doing to improve their infrastructure and plans for the future.

I would like to wish Her Majesty The Queen a very special 96th birthday today as we celebrate her Platinum Jubilee year.

Look forward to celebrating The Queen’s historic achievement this summer. A true inspiration to us all.

Long may her reign continue.

Great to welcome Rebecca Tonks CEO @steweeggs to Parliament as part of the Better Business Day to campaign for ethical and sustainable business practices. St Ewe are a great local business committed to producing high quality free range eggs & passionate about animal welfare.

It is great news that the Government has today confirmed that #Cornwall will not lose out with its replacement for EU funding now Brexit has taken place. In fact Cornwall has by far the largest amount of SPF funding per head of anywhere in England.

This afternoon I had a call with Sir Stephen Hillier, chairman of @UK_CAA, who updated me on the progress being made towards completing the licensing process to launch satellites from @SpaceCornwall which will bring huge economic opportunities and well paid jobs to Cornwall

Early today I met with Simon Hallet, Chairman of @only1argyle, discussing the #fanledreview of football and the implication for the club. Many local people support Argyle. I would be very interested to hear your views on the review: office@stevedouble.org.uk

The Private Parking Code of Conduct announced today creates a fair and level playing field for the industry, and will protect private car park users from the poor behaviour we have seen in the past.
