I’m sure that you would agree it’s been another busy week in parliament and, as you may expect, lots of constituents have been contacting me about what may happen during the next stage of coronavirus; and to tell me of their concerns and suggestions. I really do appreciate all of your calls, letters and emails.
To protect our NHS and the most vulnerable of our relatives and neighbours we must live for the next few months following a number of new restrictions. It won’t be easy but I’m certain that the people of Hinckley and Bosworth will once again collectively step up to the mark to keep each other safe, as we did in the Spring.
This week I have:
- Welcomed nearly £900,000 of new government investment into Hinckley’s historic high street: https://www.drlukeevans.org.uk/news/dr-luke-welcomes-historic-high-street-recovery-investment

- Urged eligible local residents to get a winter flu shot to help protect them in the coming months: https://www.drlukeevans.org.uk/news/hinckley-and-bosworth-mp-dr-luke-evans-urges-eligible-residents-get-flu-vaccine-winter
- Wrote for the New Statesman magazine about how we must take on the new best practice we have learnt during the coronavirus pandemic to innovate our NHS for the better, permanently: https://www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/coronavirus/2020/09/could-covid-19-finally-signal-end-fax-machine
- Asked all Hinckley and Bosworth residents with a smartphone to download the new NHS Covid-19 app, which will be a huge benefit in the national test and trace effort: https://www.drlukeevans.org.uk/news/dr-luke-urges-everyone-hinckley-and-bosworth-download-new-nhs-covid-19-app
