The Government has announced the results of its rapid review and has announced some additional Mental Health resources in our region.
Extra funding of £150m was announced, with £7m being specifically used to fund 100 specialised mental health ambulances. The funding also includes £300,000 for a Crisis Café based in Northumberland.
Once I have further details on the number of these specialists ambulances in our area and the site of the new Crisis Café - I will update you further.
I am delighted with the news that the Government has announced £14.7 million of funding for cycling infrastructure in Northumberland as part of the Levelling Up Fund.
Part of this money will go towards improving cycling and walking infrastructure between Corbridge and Hexham.
My huge thanks to Northumberland County Council, Cllr Nick Oliver and Cllr Trevor Cessford for putting together the bid and making this happen.

It was great to be at the Hexham Auction Mart yesterday morning for meetings with NFU North East, local farmers and a drop in surgery working with Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs officials.
If you are a farmer in Tynedale and Ponteland and we missed you, please get in touch: guy.opperman@parliament to raise any local issues with us.
