It's been another very busy week - as it always is when Bank Holiday cuts in, as you seem to still have a week's worth of work but one less working day to fit it all into!

The highlight was a private visit to the British Library where I was honoured to be among a very small party given a tour of the Henry VIII : Man and Monarch exhibition.  It was my first visit to the British Library, and I cannotrecommend it highly enough.  Although that specific exhibition closes this Sunday, there are many other treasures you could see such as the Magna Carta or Beatles lyrics.  What's so good is that the building is modern and has been designed to make visitors feel very welcome and comfortable.

It's been a busy week too in the constituency, hearing concerns about everything from anti-social behaviour in Middle Park to the apparent absence of road sweepers.  At other times this week, my colleagues have been out in various parts of the constituency following up issues and this afternoon I have a stack of correspondence to catch up with.

If you are a resident in the Eltham constituency and would like me or a colleague to visit for a chat, please get in touch.  I am always pleased to hear from residents, no matter how trivial you might think the issue is.  I firmly believe that if we could tackle the little things in life, many of the bigger problems would not exist.
