Simon Wright MP and the Norwich Lib Dems are campaigning for better broadband in Norwich.

At this week's Full Council meeting, Cllr James Wright highlighted the fact that there are areas of Norwich that do not have access to consistently high internet speeds. He also called on City Hall to play its full part in the 'Say Yes to Better Broadband in Norfolk" campaign.

Norwich South MP Simon Wright is supporting the launch of an online tool that gives young people in Norwich the 'Chance to be Chancellor'. The website calls on 14-18 year olds to set out the decisions that they would make if setting this year's Budget. Mr Wright is challenging local schools and young people to make the tough choices about raising and spending public money.

Norwich South MP Simon Wright has signed a Book of Commitment in the House of Commons, in doing so pledging his commitment to Holocaust Memorial Day and honouring those who died during the Holocaust.

Mr Wright will be visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau later this year with Norwich students to experience the camp first hand. The visit forms part of the Holocaust Educational Trust's 'Lessons from Auschwitz' Project, which is supported by Government funding.

Simon Wright, MP for Norwich South, has welcomed news that the Government is changing the law in a bid to tackle the increasing problem of metal theft.

Mr Wright: "The laws surrounding the trade of scrap metal are out of date and unable to stand up to the growing problem of metal theft. I'm pleased that the coalition Government will ban cash payments for scrap metal trading, and introduce fiercer punishments for dealers that commit offences.

"I've been lobbying Ministers to take action and I'm pleased that progress is now being made. Cable theft from railways alone disrupted over 35,000 national rail services over the last financial year. It represents a massive drain on resources and can pose a real danger to rail passengers.

"But it is not just cable theft; infrastructure, art installations, memorials and property across the country have been targeted by people looking to make quick money. This is costing the UK nearly £800m a year.

"Transactions are often made without proof of ID or proper, verifiable records being kept. This has to stop.

"The new measures announced send a clear message that tackling metal theft is a priority, and scrap metal dealers have an important role in bringing it to an end."

An exciting opportunity to work for Simon is now available.
