Representatives of Cleveland Police joined Matt at 10 Downing Street for celebrations and thanks from the Home Secretary.
Matt Vickers MP recently invited Supt John Wrintmore, PC Daniel Blades and Assistant Director for Community Safety and Regulated Services Marc Stephenson to 10 Downing Street last week to celebrate their work in Stockton South and the wider community.
Meeting Home Secretary James Cleverly, he was full of praise and thanks for the guests, reminding them that their selfless duties keep our communities safe every day.
Matt Vickers MP said:
Every year on Small Business Saturday (SBS) I am even more impressed with the entrepreneurialism on display from the best that Stockton has to offer.
Our high streets are flooded with these amazing small businesses, serving locals with a welcoming smile and a chat. It serves as a reminder that, although we use SBS to champion these businesses, we should prioritise them for our day-to-day shopping.
I am also glad to see how well received my campaign to extend the 75% Business Rates Relief was. Many said it was a lifeline for their operations, and I am thankful that these fantastic businesses and their staff will remain with us and can thrive for years to come.
