Out and about supporting local businesses for Small Business Saturday 

Mike in Kinver for Small Business Saturday with parish councillor Lin Hingley

On small business Saturday, Mike did a mini tour of small businesses around the constituency - catching-up with business owners and staff.

Mike said: 

"From Café Number 5 in Kinver, to Farmhouse Butchers in Codsall, and Roberts Farm Shop to Lychgate Coffee in Pattingham, small businesses play a key role in both our local communities and our local economy. 

"Today is a great chance to show them our support, and recommit to supporting them all year round too."

Strike Action at South Staffordshire Schools Paused

Excellent news that the strikes at Wombourne High School and Kinver High School have been suspended ahead of talks to resolve the dispute. This will be a huge relief to the families of children who were due to be affected by strikes scheduled for three days next week.
