As well as hosting visits to Parliament for local schools, together with the Parliamentary Education service, I have organised many coach trips for constituents and they have all been really successful.
The trip is open to residents of Staffordshire Moorlands and offers an opportunity to join me in a Questions and Answers session followed by a tour of Parliament.
The coach departs from Robin Hood Travel, Macclesfield Road, Leek, ST13 8PS and each ticket costs £34.50. This is solely to cover the cost of the coach.
Parliament is steeped in history - there has been a Palace on the site for nearly one thousand years; originally standing on a thorn covered island formed by the Thames and the branches of the river Tyburn, known as Thorney Island.
We start the tour in Westminster Hall and I show constituents where monarchs, including our late Queen Elizabeth II and Parliamentarians such as Sir Winston Churchill, lay in state as well as the steps where President Zelenskyy gave his famous address to both Houses of Parliament. I always point out the Staffordshire connections, of which there are quite a few, including Augustus Pugin, the Minton tiles and Richard Norman Shaw.
Please contact my Leek office on 01538 382421 or email me on [email protected] if you would like to join the coach trip on 14th June.
