Remembrance, paperwork and my first press interview of the campaign.

What can I say? It's been a heck of a start - Envelopes, risotto, drinks, meeting voters and a candidate selection!

But seriously, with parliament not dissolving until midnight, Tuesday wasn't even officially in the period for the General Election yet. As if that would stop us!

During the last 2 years I have attended the Shacklewell Ward meeting established by the Shacklewell Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT).  These meetings offer an opportunity for the community to engage and raise policing issues.  I chaired the last meeting in May with Jerry, another Shacklewell resident, co-chairing.  Following on from this Jerry and I were asked to observe operation Snofrisk in Shacklewell.

I was recently in Cambridgeshire and had the opportunity to join the Petersfield canvassing evening with the Cambridge LibDems.  It was Thursday (25 July) and Cambridge may have recorded the hottest day in the UK at 38.7°C!  The Met Office has yet to confirm the reading.
