Congratulations for Pools and praise for Youth Parliament member Ash
It was a very tense match with the late Torquay goal, and I’m sure everyone was on the edge of their seats going into the penalty shootout.
I’m absolutely thrilled for everyone involved with the club and am really looking forward to getting to some matches next season.

Hide AdFact finding continues apace, and this week I’ve been pleased to meet with Ash Khan, who is the Member of the Youth Parliament for Hartlepool.
We talked about challenges to our environment moving forwards, not only locally where we need a pro-active recycling culture, but also in the wider context, with plastics being high on the agenda in the Youth Parliament and sights set on the latest Environment Bill going before the House of Lords.
I congratulate Ash on stepping up to the plate and being a voice for young people in the town and I would encourage others to come forward and engage in things like youth councils, a great place for the leaders of tomorrow to develop political skills.
Encouraging young people to think of their futures and to really develop their potential in terms of skills and education is so important for the future of our town – as we bring investment and opportunity to areas right across Teesside, employers will be looking for home grown talent, and part of our building back better agenda is to help people stay local with the provision of quality jobs.

Hide AdI discussed this with Boris Johnson when I met with him earlier this week and I will be reporting back to him how impressed I was when I visited High Tunstall College of Science this week, which provides an extremely good environment to foster a love of learning and development.
And speaking of jobs – I am hiring!!
I’m looking to recruit a member of staff based here in the town as well as a Parliamentary Assistant. You can find out more on http://www.w4mpjobs.org or check out my FaceBook page.
