Speaking after her visit, Priti said:
“I was delighted to spend time in Pebmarsh and meet wonderful members of the local communities who contribute so much to village life.
“The community-owned pub and village shop are perfect examples of how residents come together to support one another. Businesses and community-led initiatives like these are the backbone of village life and must be protected.
“I also met with residents who are affected by the work underway by National Grid’s Bramford to Twinstead reinforcement project to discuss the impact these works are having on the community and local businesses. I continue to work closely with locals to ensure their voices are heard and their interests are represented.”
