Cotswolds MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown had the pleasure of hosting an assembly last Friday for all pupils during an engaging visit to Cirencester Junior School, where the MP was also able to meet with a number of pupils and teachers.

Top of Mr Clifton-Browns “to do list” was the chance to meet with Rosa Spencer who had written to the MP to discuss the difficulties faced by wheelchair users such as herself, in particular the problem of dog mess on the pavements which can easily get onto wheelchair users hands.

Speaking about the meeting Mr Clifton-Brown said “This is not an issue that has ever been raised with me before, and whilst it is not the nicest matter to discuss, I am delighted that Rosa has taken this issue up with me”

“It will be my pleasure to raise the profile of this with dog owners across my constituency and to ensure that all measures are in place to clean up such mess from our streets. Furthermore I hope that this will encourage people of any age to contact me if there is something I can do to help them”
