The costs of childcare have been in the news recently- it is a big issue for many families, who have to think carefully about whether they can afford childcare when they go back to work. It is also important for children to be able to get good care and education at nursery.

I was privileged to be invited to attend an event to celebrate Anlaby Park Community Library signing a lease with Hull City Council to run the library.

I had the privilege last week of taking Lynne Featherstone MP to meet some of the people working to tackle domestic abuse in Hull and the East Riding. Lynne is a government minister in the Department of International Development, and has worked hard to tackle violence against women and girls.
