As schools break for the summer, I would like to wish all students a fantastic holiday. In particular, good luck to all those expecting exam results.
With Parliament also in recess, this time of year provides more of an opportunity to spend time in our community and enjoy events like the fantastic Bromsgrove Festival. As ever, it was a wonderful event that brightened up our town with so much to see, hear and enjoy for all the family.

It is good news that the unemployment rate in Bromsgrove constituency remains low at 1%. There is more to do but this is encouraging.
Youth unemployment in Bromsgrove constituency is also down 67% since 2010. The rate is now just 2%, which is near the record low. This means opportunity and security for young people.
Finally, I welcome the announcement that there will be an additional £1.3 billion for schools funding over two years. This means that, with teachers and schools across Bromsgrove District, we can continue to raise standards and give every child the best possible education, and opportunities for the future.
Kind regards,
Sajid Javid
Member of Parliament for Bromsgrove

I'm delighted that Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust has been awarded £29 million. This is excellent news. This month, I also had a productive discussion with Simon Trickett, CEO of our local NHS commissioning group. As your representative in Parliament, health needs of local residents are my top priority.
