    Investment for Longton's lorry facilities

    I'm at ADS Truck Parking to meet the team and have a look at some of their fantastic facilities for drivers. They are doing a great job for drivers whether it's providing home cooked food, clean toilets or a friendly atmosphere to combat loneliness. They've successfully bid for £222,000 in government funding to further improve their facilities and I'm joined by owners Andy and Bernadette to tell us more.

    Training opportunities for people with disabilities

    Vikki, Clare and the team at Acacia training based in Trentham is doing some incredible work helping people with disabilities into training and employment. These opportunities are fantastic, they are in sectors such as health and social care, administration and manufacturing. I went along to hear more about their work, and I met Kelly - one of their Kickstarters.

    Invented in Stoke-on-Trent

    I’m proud to see a local company coming up with an ingenious invention to clean up our public transport and make it Covid-safe safe for passengers. I joined Simon Whitney from V-Stop on a D&G bus at their depot to see it in action - the sanitiser is pumped into the bus through nozzles and kills up to 99% of viruses and bacteria. Incredible.

    Our iconic ceramics industry has been hit hard by coronavirus. We must act now to help our manufacturers, protect jobs, and pass the industry down to the next generation. Stoke makes the best ceramics in the world. I brought together some of our local manufacturers and together we've come up with a recovery plan which I'm now taking to the heart of government. More here.
