A Word From Your MPAs an MP, you rarely have time to indulge your hobbies. This certainly holds true in the case of my ongoing passion for vintage cars. I have long had the dream of buying a classic car and fixing it up over a period of several years. I may lack the time, the money and, let’s be honest, the skill, but still the dream lives on.It is partly this love of cars that makes me so proud to live in South Staffordshire, home of the new Jaguar Land Rover engine plant. And, it was this love of cars that recently heightened my joy at discovering I had secured a Westminster Hall debate on the UK’s automotive sector. It also helped that the subject covered one of my other core interests: British manufacturing.British manufacturing was consistently underfunded during the past Government and when we took over, in 2010, many British people feared that the proud age of British production had undergone a tragic, long foreseen and irreversible demise. Over the past few years, I think we have successfully proven this is very much not the case and nowhere is this truer than in the automotive sector. Over 1.5 million cars were built in the UK in 2013, the highest level since 2007. Forecasts suggest that two million cars could be built in the UK by 2017, the highest number ever. This would not have happened without the £7 billion of investment has been committed to the UK automotive industry since 2010. However, we cannot afford to be complacent. Indeed, in my debate, I spoke about the need to focus on areas such as research and development, the supply chain and essential skills, as Britain’s auto industry continues its exponential growth. Jaguar Land Rover is one example of a change that is happening throughout the country and we need to support this evolution.In South Staffordshire, we have much to be proud of. Opportunities for employment are on the up, crime is down and business is booming. However, as much as Government support may help contribute towards these developments, the true recognition needs to go to the people of South Staffordshire themselves. We are living in an incredible part of the country, in an area where I can honestly say a community spirit continues to thrive. Only last month, I was visiting the Wombourne & Codsall Judo Club at the Codsall Leisure Centre. This is a wonderful local organisation, which is coached by the current British Open Masters Champion, Carl Holland. I, myself, can testify to the quality of the teaching, as I took part in a session and was thrown several times. Growing organisations, such as this, can make all the difference to local communities. They not only offer useful training and exercise, they provide a venue and chance for people to meet and socialise. It is only by keeping these community bonds strong that South Staffordshire will continue to prosper in the years ahead. To contact me call 01902 846616 or 0207 219 7150

Festival Success!March was an exciting month in and around local villages as yet another successful Codsall Community Arts Festival took place. A new initiative was the introduction of Community Day. The centre of Codsall buzzed as people of all ages dashed between activities which included African

drumming, poetry and craft stalls. The main Festival began a few days later. Such was the appeal of the programme that no fewer than six events were complete sell-outs. Emails from several of the artistes state that Codsall was an extremely welcoming place to perform. ‘The Reel Note Band’ wrote that Codsall was ‘one of our best gigs in our 13 year history’ and Colin Wright, whose amazing mathematical juggling stunned the audience, said that he would love to return. And who could have failed to have been won over by the charismatic charm of both Ken Livingston and the renowned international pianist, Cyprien Katsaris? Currently the committee is busy analysing and evaluating but soon the enormous task of planning the 2016 festival will begin. Ideas from anybody who has thoughts on either of these issues are most welcome, via the website. Members of the committee for the Codsall Community Arts Festival would like to express their thanks for the outstanding support which was given, not only by Codsall residents and businesses but also by the communities of surrounding towns and villages. Without the help of individuals and groups, in a whole host of ways, the festival would not continue to thrive and develop in such a strong and positive way. Committee members are local volunteers and are always on the look out for more help. Some members have good computer skills, others prefer to work with data, finance, writing or organising but there are a whole load of other tasks - and those people with new ideas are always vital. The hard work is fulfilling and worthwhile, especially when yet another festival begins. So if you think you might like to find out more, without any obligation, please contact us via the website.

Tips from Your Local PGA Proat Ledene Golf Centre

An over swing is a common fault in club golfers who take the club shaft past the point where it is parallel to the ground at the top of

the back swing. Many times I have heard people on the driving range comment that at the top of their back swings they catch the club head out of the corner of their left eye with the misconception being that many golfers over swing to compensate for lack of distance, thinking the length of arc gives them distance and power, when in fact it is the width of the arc in the swing that achieves this.Over swinging is caused by an over rotation in the lower body, when this happens it causes the spine to tilt away from the target to counter balance the over turning body, which will lead to the clubs path being delivered incorrectly back into the ball. By keeping the right knee in a flexed position during the back swing this will restrict the hips from over turning and gives a more controlled turn, with the top half of your body winding up against the lower half of your body, this creates resistance which causes a

coiling effect in the backswing. This control puts the hands and arms in a better position to swing the club back to the ball on the correct path which in turn will enable the ball to start towards your intended target.
