I’ve been out & about in Woodbridge  even more than usual, knocking on your doors, delivering letters, knocking in stakeboards, running stalls in the Thoroughfare and answering questions as much as I could in the run-up to this election -although sadly a close relative has been in v poor health and I’ve had to keep her with me most of the time, poor thing. O the unexpected and unfair perils of being related to a local politician!

On Bank Holiday Sunday she was bluelighted to hospital in dramatic circumstances. Huge thanks to first responders, the ambulance service and Ipswich hospital for ensuring it was nothing worse.

I’ll do my best but I may not be able to be on anyone’s doorstep before Thursday’s vote.

If so, do accept my apologies: these are circumstances beyond my control. I maintain that it is my role as a hands-on family carer that enables me to understand and represent so many local residents and issues.

You can – of course – contact me with any questions, concerns on caroline4woodbridge@aol.com
