Healthy Lifestyles
There is currently a Primary Care Trust (PCT) programme in place to promote healthy lifestyles amongst the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) community encouraging people to eat a balanced diet and take more exercise and particularly to walk regularly. One of the activities of the programme is to offer free blood pressure checks. Blood pressure checking sessions are being run after the Friday congregation in the mosques in Hartington Road and in Northcote Street. For more details of the programme and for the dates of the blood pressure sessions please contact me directly. My details are available in the Contact US section of this page.

Regular Visits from the Chief Constable
I have arranged regular visits from the Chief Constable of Cleveland Police, Mr Sean Price, to all of the mosques in the Tees Valley area, where members of the BME community can ask questions of and talk directly with the Chief Constable and some of his team. Sessions have taken place on Fridays after prayers at the mosques. I will try to give two or three weeks notice of future sessions to the committee members of each mosque so that they can advertise them, but if you would like more information please contact me directly. The aim of these meetings is to improve communication and general relationships between the police force and the BME community.

I represent all of the residents living in the Parkfield and Oxbridge ward whatever their political allegiance.
