Great to return to Inkberrow Primary School to meet staff, pupils and governors. Rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, it delivers an exceptional education across Inkberrow and our surrounding villages. Reception places are available for next year and in-year admissions are welcome.

I’ve joined over 100 Labour MPs in writing to Ofcom and the Business Secretary demanding action on Royal Mail’s repeated failure to meet delivery targets. Postal workers know the problems, but their concerns are ignored by senior management. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Royal Mail blasted for missing delivery targets as Ofcom urged to act

EXCLUSIVE: MPs accused Royal Mail of not taking the delays seriously, leaving the public missing hospital appointments, court dates, or having late fees added to bills that simply didn’t come

I’ve written to the Prime Minister and Health Secretary urging urgent NHS access to Omaveloxolone (Omav) for people living with Friedreich’s Ataxia. This progressive, cruel, degenerative disease severely limits life expectancy, but Omav (already MHRA approved) can slow its progression.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I’ve written to the Chief Executive of the Integrated Care Board, demanding Redditch be chosen for a new community mental health centre or crisis emergency department.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I’m proud to have secured £20 million in Government funding for Greenlands and Woodrow through the Pride in Place programme. Tthe largest direct investment in Redditch in memory. This once-in-a-generation opportunity puts local residents in charge.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I’ve tabled an amendment supported across the House to the Health Bill to turn pledges on Fracture Liaison Services into real action.

I've written directly to Severn Trent following the recent water outages and low pressure across Redditch.

Taking our campaign for new mental health provision to Westminster. Have you signed our petition yet to demand Redditch is the home for new services?👇

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Redditch deserves dedicated mental health care right on our doorstep. Our town has no dedicated walk-in mental health facility and the highest prevalence of common mental health disorders in Worcestershire, with youth referrals more than doubled in five years.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

UPDATE: 27 August, 5pm There's still no clear end in sight to the Severn Trent problems affecting Redditch. While supplies have returned for many, some residents remain without water, have low pressure or discoloured supply.

121

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I remain in regular contact with Severn Trent following last night’s major mains burst, which caused severe outages, low pressure and discoloured water across Redditch. Crews worked through the night, supported by tankers, restoring supply to most customers within three hours.

It was a pleasure to welcome the talented young cadets and leaders from 216 (Redditch) Squadron RAFAC to Parliament!

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Great news for disabled people in Redditch and the Villages! Right now, on weekdays disabled bus passes only work between 9:30am and 11pm. From April 2027, this Government is ending that.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

All through August, children aged 5–15 can travel for FREE on local buses across England as part of the Great British Summer Savings scheme. With the cost of living still putting pressure on family budgets, this is a welcome boost, helping families get out and about for less.

High streets have watched vape shops, adult gaming centres and rogue businesses replace the services communities rely on. New planning rules mean vape shops and gaming venues will need planning permission before opening, giving councils powers to block them near schools.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Mental health care shouldn’t be a postcode lottery or force people to wait months only to end up in A&E at crisis point.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I'll be holding constituency advice surgeries across Redditch and the Villages this month. These are a chance to meet face-to-face and discuss any issue you need support with: whether it's housing, healthcare, education, local services or a community concern. No issue is too big or small.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Delighted to officially open Osprey's new £1M ultra-rapid EV charging hub at Twyford Services in Evesham. This 16-bay facility turns a former cold spot on key routes (A46/A44) into one of our region's largest public hubs, adding up to 100 miles of range in just 15 minutes.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

I recently visited CEVA Logistics on Park Farm Industrial Estate with the UK Warehousing Association to tour their healthcare supply chain operations. Seeing firsthand how critical medical supplies are managed shows just how vital Redditch is to national industry.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

To mark National Employability Day, I visited Seetec in Redditch to see how their tailored support programs are helping local residents overcome barriers and get back into work.

Great to visit Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull plant to see advanced British manufacturing in action. JLR is one of our great manufacturing success stories and I’m proud that so many people from Redditch and the Villages play a part in that every day.

Great to visit McDonald's Oakenshaw this week to meet franchisee Robert Holdcroft and his team! I went behind the scenes and even spent time working the drive-through during a busy service to see how modern tech is making operations smoother for staff.

Today’s the day, Redditch! RecruitFest is LIVE at The Canopies until 2pm. I’m proud to launch this with Redditch Jobcentre; connecting local people with local jobs, apprenticeships and training in a festival atmosphere, not a room full of tables.

Today I delivered our petition to 10 Downing Street, signed by more than 3,000 residents of Redditch and the Villages. It calls on the Prime Minister to honour Jordan and Cian Adams through the national honours system.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

An incredible 1,100 people have signed our letter to Downing Street honouring Redditch’s FTD brothers for their dementia research fundraising. With 48 hours left before Thursday’s handover, please add your name.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Jordan and Cian Adams are the pride of Redditch, and that is why they are being honoured with Freedom of the Borough. But we should go further. Will you sign the letter and call for Jordan and Cian's incredible work to be recognised at the highest level? www.chrisbloore.co.uk/ftdbrothers

Ten years ago today, on 16th June 2016, we lost Jo Cox MP. A remarkable mother, public servant, campaigner and friend. Her words remain powerful: “We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.” Today, we remember her legacy🌹

Measles cases are now rising across Worcestershire. Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to severe complications, especially in young children and those with weakened immune systems.

From 25 June to 1 September, VAT on children’s meals, cinema tickets and attractions like zoos and theme parks will be cut from 20% to 5%. The Great British Summer Savings scheme will make days out more affordable while supporting local businesses. Let’s make this summer special for everyone.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

After lobbying the Chancellor, I welcome this vital support for Redditch & the Villages as global conflict drives up fuel costs. The 5p fuel duty cut is extended, saving drivers £120. Hauliers get a 12-month road tax holiday and red diesel is slashed to its lowest rate in 20 years.

151

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Cybersecurity isn’t just about tech, it’s about protecting Redditch jobs. The JLR attack proved that when big firms are hit, our local workshops and supply chains pay the price. I’ve secured a commitment for parliamentary scrutiny of the Government’s new Cyber-Resilience Index.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

This Mental Health Awareness Week awareness isn’t enough, we need action. I’m fighting to tackle the root causes: poverty, poor housing and unsafe online spaces for our children.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Today is International Nurses Day. Nurses are the backbone of our NHS, delivering world-class care with skill and compassion every day but gratitude must mean more than words. Fair pay, safe staffing and real support are essential.

🚧Emergency works on Marsden Road🚧 Emergency works are being carried out by Severn Trent on Marsden Road to identify and fix a leak. This work was unplanned and we were alerted by residents about significant disruption to Marsden Road and the surrounding streets.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

From housing disputes to unfair benefit stops, my team and I are delivering real results for Redditch & the Villages. We’ve secured £800 in child maintenance arrears, overturned DWP decisions after a medical emergency and resolved complex utility disputes.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Fantastic news for Redditch: £1.17m is coming to Heart of Worcestershire College, with a major share for our campus. This investment will upgrade digital connectivity and accelerate our transition to a net-zero, sustainable site.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Unpaid carers are the backbone of Redditch, balancing work, family and caring for loved ones. I visited Carers Careline to see their vital work, from financial advice to emotional support. Erica and the team are a lifeline.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Redditch Local History Museum faces eviction by July, risking a vital part of our town’s identity. I’ve met trustees and am working urgently with the Council to secure a new home. As we bid for Town of Culture 2028, preserving our past isn’t optional - it’s essential.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

The horrendous news from Martley Close has shocked our community. My thoughts are with the victim’s family at this devastating time. I welcome West Mercia Police’s swift action, including an arrest and increased patrols.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

I’m shocked and saddened by the fatal stabbing in Martley Close this morning. My thoughts are with the victim’s family and loved ones. I have spoken with West Mercia Police who have launched a murder investigation, with a cordon near the Longdon Close underpass and increased patrols in the area.

Chris Bloore MP @chrisbloore.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Hospices provide dignity, comfort and expert care at the hardest moments I’m backing calls for fair, sustainable funding as pressures on the sector grow.
