Neil Parish visits Hawkchurch to answer some probing questions on the state of the nation’s finances

MP Neil Parish was at Hawkchurch to give members of the Fairwater Head Hotel’s lunch club an update on the economy.

Some 40 members attended his 30 minute talk and then put some probing questions.

Hotel boss Adam Southwell said: “It was a great honour to have Neil come along. He is always very forthright and tells it how it is. Everyone who was there thoroughly enjoyed the lunch and left understanding a bit more about what the government is doing to boost the economy.”
