This month the Government backed Start-Up Loans Com-

pany announced that it had funded a nine businesses in

Bracknell a total of £60,800. These loans of between

£2,500 and £9,500 are provided with a mentor will be

used by the recipients to help start their entrepreneurial

ideas.

This month, the Office of National Statistics has revealed

that the number of Jobseekers Allowance claimants has

fallen to 1.0% of the economically active population.

At the end of the December the first of 4,500 concrete

panels that will make up the new Broadmoor Hospital

was laid. The £242 Million pound redevelopment will

improve the provision of mental health services and

the new building which will provide accommodation for

210 patients is expected to open by 2017.

New businesses and reduced unemployment Work begins on Broadmoor Hospital

On Friday 12th December I visited

Royal Mail’s Bracknell delivery office

to pass on Christmas wishes to postal

workers at the busiest time of their

year.

I was shown around the premises by

Delivery Office Manager, Paul Leish-

man, and was introduced to the post-

men and women who are working

hard sorting and delivering mail in the run-up to Christmas.

Our postal workers do such an important job at this time of year and help to deliv-

er Christmas for many people and families in our area.

On 4th December, I chaired a public

meeting with representatives from

Heathrow's Community relations team

and experts in Air Traffic management

from NATS.

I hope the meeting helped clear up

many misconceptions about the flight

paths before during and after the trials.

Heathrow admitted that any future trial

should have a public consultation and

that unfortunately due to the weather

conditions there have been an uncom-

mon number of easterly approaches

adversely affecting the constituency in

terms of noise level and frequency.

It is welcoming to see a more engaged

approach from Heathrow who men-

tioned they are considering an inde-

pendent inquiry into the flight paths to

reassure residents.

I am holding the first of my quarterly public

meetings at Sandhurst Community Hall on at

7:30pm on Thursday 5th February 2015. This

is open to all constituents and gives you the

opportunity to hear about how I have been

representing you in Westminster and ques-

tion me on policy.

If you are unable to make this meeting I will

be holding other Q&A’s throughout the year, I publicise the details of future public

meetings and Q&A sessions on www.phillip-lee.com/news/ and in various local

publications. I hope to see you there as these meetings help me to better repre-

sent you in Westminster and work hard for Bracknell on the issues that matter to

you.
