Future of Social Housing — [Ian Paisley in the Chair] (19 Apr 2023)

Mike Amesbury: ...elaborate on that. Sarah and Eddy were desperate. Weaver Vale Housing Trust, one of the housing associations in my constituency, was in the process of building affordable housing in a place called Helsby, and I was able to go along with the chief exec and hand keys not only to that family but to other families that the housing association and I had helped. I saw their desperation, then...

Careers Guidance in Schools — [Christina Rees in the Chair] (13 Jul 2022)

Mike Amesbury: ...promotion of Gatsby quality benchmarks is good, resources for schools, after being drastically cut, have not been scaled up again. We will all be aware of some good practice in our local schools.

Mike Amesbury: ...are now refusing to extend targeted support to the sector. These callous decisions are putting people out of business and out of jobs.

Debate on the Address: Public Services (16 Oct 2019)

Mike Amesbury: ...! Stand up! I will start again. I wanted to see measures in the Queen’s Speech that would transform public services right throughout Weaver Vale. Instead, I have seen brilliant schools such as Helsby High School in my constituency have its funding cut by £1.6 million by 2020. One school—£1.6 million! Parents have seen the letters, and hard-pressed teachers and staff have felt more...

8. Welsh Conservatives debate: 'Prosperity for All' (24 Jan 2018)

Ken Skates: ...in Shotton and Wrexham railway stations. We would wish to see the UK Government meet our investments by investing in infrastructure on the English side of the border at Chester, on the M56 at Helsby, and, crucially, on the A5 in the Shrewsbury area. These are huge problems that must be addressed. Llywydd, as I reach the end of my contribution, Members will no doubt be aware of the UK...

Tolls on the Mersey Crossings — [Ian Paisley in the Chair] ( 5 Dec 2017)

Mike Amesbury: ...that now—has been dished out in one month. I have spoken to many residents who have been dealt with harshly and insensitively. There has been poor communication and signage. An elderly woman in Helsby, which is part of my constituency, was fined £80. She was in tears on the phone because she did not know how to access the internet. It was unjust—she was just a couple of days late with...

Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing Bill ( 3 Jul 2017)

Mike Amesbury: ...of my constituency. An array of industries and business sectors are represented in Weaver Vale, with no one industry dominating the life of the entire constituency. Northwich, Weaverham, Frodsham, Helsby, and the eastern part of Runcorn comprise much of the urban life of the constituency, woven around rural areas. I am obviously going to say this, but it is one of the best places in the...

Jim McMahon: ...Lane, Broadway, the maximum was 5%; further on again, on a road widening towards Middleton Road, Broadway, the maximum was unknown; and on the new junction improvements on the A56 Chester Road at Helsby, the maximum was 7%. Given the location under discussion, clear evidence suggests that properties have reduced in value as a result of the road widening scheme. I will refer to two...

Mark Isherwood: ...business case and release of additional funding for the delivery of the Halton curve scheme in April, offering new connections between Liverpool, Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Runcorn, Frodsham, Helsby and Chester, but connections with north Wales are only ‘in future’ because the Welsh Government is dragging its feet, as usual.

Graham Evans: ...natural environment, homes or businesses. Perhaps that is an area in which the Government need to do more to convince the great British public.

I invited representatives of the Environment Agency, Public Health England and the Health and Safety Executive, together with a local...

M56 (Junctions 12 to 14) (17 Nov 2015)

Accidents happen all too often on the M56, particularly between junctions 12 and 14, which is the stretch that runs alongside the important communities of Helsby, Frodsham, Sutton Weaver, Preston Brook, Norton and Beechwood in my constituency of Weaver Vale. There is a long, straight stretch of motorway between junctions 12 and 14, running east-west...

Outdoor Recreation — [Mr James Gray in the Chair] (28 Oct 2015)

Graham Evans: ..., I abseiled; I was persuaded to do so by my hon. Friend the Member for Macclesfield, the great man. Although I am a keen sportsman, I had never thought about mountaineering before. If anyone knows Helsby hill, they will know that it is a famous rocky outcrop on the M56 that is in the shape of a face; some people say it is in the shape of a female face, but I am not sure. I did as I was...

Devolution and Growth Across Britain ( 3 Jun 2015)

Graham Evans: ...going to be reinstated. The scheme has a clear, positive business case and would reinstate and re-signal a section of railway between Frodsham and Runcorn, allowing trains to travel from Frodsham, Helsby and Halton to Liverpool and John Lennon airport, as well as into Chester and onwards to north Wales, as my right hon.
