Stevenage MP Stephen McPartland was invited join the harvest in action at one of the farms in the local area, and to see how arable farms help provide the raw ingredients for the UK food and drinks industry, as well as providing a vital environmental role.

Stephen McPartland MP said, "It was fantastic to be able to join the team at W J Spicer & Sons and see the harvest in action.  Farmers are extremely committed when it comes to delivering not only quality food and raw ingredients, but also investing time, money and effort in managing the countryside and environment in and around their farms."

"Inviting Mr McPartland out on the family farm enabled us to discuss matters such as the importance of the arable farming sector, our reliance on haulage firms and logistics at this time of year, and how our business is getting ‘Brexit’ ready", said Rosemary Pateman, of W J Spicer & Sons, who hosted Stephen.

Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, was pleased to be able to hand over a cheque for £6,500 to the Garden House Hospice at the offices of local chartered accountancy firm Wagstaffs following their successful skydive challenge.

Stephen McPartland MP said, “This is a brilliant achievement and really shows the community spirit we have in our town. The Garden House Hospice is an amazing charity I am proud to support. I am just so sorry I could not take part in the skydive.”

Mark Hubbocks, partner at Wagstaffs, said, "It is not often that you get to do something exhilarating that will fuel adrenaline and leave you with a memory that lasts a lifetime. Add the fact that a closely bonded group have raised over £6,000 for charity and that money really makes a difference, that makes the whole thing very special indeed.

"I would encourage as many local businesses to consider doing something similar as we all have a part to play in supporting the community that supports our respective businesses."

Stevenage MP Stephen McPartland lent a hand to the Bragbury End Community Garden Group who were clearing up the wooded areas near Bleinheim Way.

Stephen McPartland MP said, “Big thank you to Cllr Doug Bainbridge and his fellow Longmeadow Councillors, Adam Mitchell and Alex Farquharson, for organising this community clear up. The Woodland Walk area really has been opened up and none of this could have happened without the large numbers of volunteers from different groups coming together. A real example of community spirit in action, here in Stevenage.”
