Out & About

Mark Garnier MP and students from Wyre Forest have visited Auschwitz-Birkenau. Wyre Forest's local MP joined more than 200 other post-16 students from around Worcestershire on the Project, which was a unique opportunity to learn about what happened at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

On Sunday, Mark Garnier MP for Wyre Forest joined 350 other fun runners to raise money for KEMP Hospice. All dressed as Santa Claus, they ran, jogged and walked 10 kilometres on a route starting in Kidderminster’s Brinton Park, via Wolverley and back to the finish at Brinton Park.

Mark, who is a long standing supporter of Kemp, raised around £350.

Mark today joined Cllr Nicky Gale and a big local crowd to help tidy up Oldington and Foley Park. The morning was organised by Nicky Gale and Wyre Forest Community Housing, and was joined by over twenty local residents and schoolchildren. Wyre Forest District Council helped support the event. Mark has joined in a number of these events in the past. "I think it is very important that people take an interest in their local community" says Mark, "and these big tidy ups are one way of doing it."

With the general election just a few days away, Mark and his Conservative team were out and about in both Stourport and Bewdley, meeting with local shoppers and talking about the issues facing us all.
