On Friday 7th October I hosted my third Macmillan Coffee Morning at the Berrylands Hall in Surbiton.

Edward Davey, MP for Kingston and Surbiton has written to local bank branches as part of a campaign with the RNIB to increase cash point accessibility for the visually impaired.

If you want to borrow money – from a friend or a bank – the lender normally wants to know if you will pay them back. Not unreasonable.

If they think there’s a risk you may not pay back, you’ll be charged a higher interest rate for the loan.

Whether it’s you or me borrowing – or Britain or Greece – the credit market operates in basically the same way.

Edward Davey, MP for Kingston and Surbiton, today advised constituents who haven’t yet made a Will to make an appointment with a Will Aid solicitor for this November.

Edward Davey, MP for Kingston and Surbiton, met with RNIB at the Liberal Democrat conference in Birmingham last week to hear how at least 50% of sight loss in the UK is avoidable if detected and treated early enough.

Health reforms are before Parliament again.

Some people are concerned about what they mean for the NHS, yet I think these concerns are misplaced.

There are a lot of theories about this summer’s riots, and how we should react.

While there is widespread agreement that the rioters must first and foremost be seen as criminals, there is equally widespread disagreement as to whether the riots suggest something deeper and more profound about our society.

Amongst the bad news of the world economy and riots, here’s some good news: Surbiton’s new health centre and primary school have got the final go-ahead.

The first week of August saw legal and financial documents signed – so the new school should open in September 2012 and the health centre in February 2013.

Edward Davey, Lib Dem MP for Kingston and Surbiton is campaigning to raise awareness of funding opportunities available to local community projects.

Rupert Murdoch and News International always like to argue they are "anti-establishment" - that they have a strong record of exposing how some celebrities and powerful people have misbehaved.

Yet there are problems with Murdoch's argument: first, the behaviour of his papers like News of the World and The Sun is hardly always virtuous.

Edward Davey MP, Lib Dem MP for Kingston and Surbiton, has joined Anthony Nolan, the UK blood cancer charity, in their quest to find 10,000 stem cell donors.

Patients need stem cell transplants from donors with matching tissue types straight away after chemotherapy and radiotherapy to kick start their immune system.

The police presence on the streets of Kingston and Surbiton has transformed over the last 12 years. From increased numbers of officers to the Safer Neighbourhood Teams to Community Support Officers: it is a welcome difference from the 1990s.

From Chessington’s North Parade to Kingston’s Clarence Street. From New Malden and Surbiton High Streets to Tolworth Broadway. It’s a tough time for shops and businesses for our high streets.

Yet it’s even tougher for retailers in most other towns and cities across the UK.

Last May, I set out to reform the laws on maternity and paternity leave and pay.

As the Minister for Employment Relations, my job is to implement Coalition agreements on “shared parental leave”. As this is a policy Liberal Democrats have advocated for years, I’m relishing it.

This month we published the consultation “Modern Workplaces”, after a year’s work.
