Dan Aldridge: I'm proud to champion Weston’s tourism and hospitality sector (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are few things I enjoy more than popping into town and seeing it full of people, writes Dan Aldridge MP. Having to queue for a coffee should be annoying, but it actually makes me realise people do come into our town centre. I love seeing a packed café, then walking round the corner to pop into a beer garden with people sitting outside while kids run around the tables. Weston needs people spending money in local shops, restaurants and attractions, but that doesn’t just come from Weston; pol
Dan Aldridge: The expansion of Pharmacy First is fantastic news (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Waking up with an earache, my first thought is, I need to ring my GP, writes Dan Aldridge MP. So, at 8am, I get on the phone, thinking I’m early enough to 'beat the queue'. For anyone who has ever tried to get a GP appointment when they are unwell, this will probably sound familiar. You can spend much of your morning trying to navigate the system before you have even spoken to a healthcare professional. That is why I am really pleased that we are expanding Pharmacy First. Sometimes, you don’t ne
Dan Aldridge: We need public-focused reforms to protect Weston's water (opens the original)

Sat on Sand Bay with my friend this summer watching the eclipse recently, the only thing bugging me was the sense that we still seem distant from all our community and our visitors, to be able to swim in the water around Weston without worrying about what might be in it, writes Dan Aldridge MP. That should not be a bold or aspirational thing to say, and it is fundamental to who we are. As a family, we find ourselves telling the children to take care not to swallow any water when they swim. I fee
Dan Aldridge: Sainsbury's new work experience scheme should be applauded (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My first job in Weston was at Sainsbury’s Homebase, writes Dan Aldridge MP. For those who don't know, it was where TK Maxx is now, and for me, those years working in retail while I was studying at Weston College gave me far more than a paycheque to keep me in drinks at Cabot 5 Bars and Hobbits. It taught me how to deal with people, solve problems, think on my feet and, perhaps most importantly, the discipline of turning up on time and doing a solid day's work. That is why I was particularly plea
Dan Aldridge: Why it's vital to back Weston's independent businesses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I popped into DragonScale Cards on my day off last weekend, and something in the window caught my attention, writes Dan Aldridge MP. There was a simple sign that said: if everyone in Weston spent just £5 a week in a local shop, it would put £14.8m back into our local economy every year. Since being elected, I have been shouting about supporting local businesses in Weston and Westminster, but DragonScale Cards really made me stop and think, we often talk about supporting our high street as thou
