Greg met local members of The Alzheimer's Society at a special tea to celebrate Alzheimer's Awareness Week.

A new working group, chaired by Greg, and comprising representatives from the business community, Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and Kent Highways, met to agree on a number of options that could help relieve the traffic problems at the North Farm Industrial Estate.

The introduction of a new "delay-repay" compensation system for rail passengers which starts on Friday 1 July 2011 will be a "red letter day for rail passengers".

Greg Clark said:

Greg visited Muffett Gears, a highly successful engineering company based in Tunbridge Wells.  He was particularly impressed by the number of apprenticeships that Muffett Gears offer young people. 

Greg celebrates the opening of the newly refurbished Village Stores in Sandhurst with its owners Ann & David Johnson and Baroness Stedman-Scott. 

Residents at Mount Ephraim Care Home were given the opportunity to ask Greg questions about topical issues during a visit to the home. 

Greg welcomed a breakthrough in mental health services for children and young people, with £750,000 funding agreed to treat 1,000 more young people a year in West Kent.

Greg met with representatives from Arriva Southern Counties, Kent County Council and Tunbridge Wells Borough Council to discuss local bus services, in particular services to the new hospital in Pembury and the withdrawal of the 285 service from Southborough to Sainsburys in Tunbridge Wells.

Greg met with members of Tunbridge Wells Access Group to talk about issues of concern to them such as reform of the Disability Living Allowance.

Greg is delighted to hear that planning permission has been given for an extra 100 visitor parking spaces at the new hospital in Pembury. Back in 2009, Greg called a public meeting to discuss transport issues relating to the new hospital and visitor parking was one of the key concerns to be raised by local residents. The NHS Trust agreed with this view and asked Tunbridge Wells Borough Council for permission to increase the number of parking spaces for visitors from 250 to 350.
