Jake Berry MP will launch Rossendale and Darwen’s 100 Apprenticeships in 100 Days Campaign at Rossendales, Wavell House, in Helmshore, on Friday 24th May 2013 between 8.30am and 10am.                   

Jake is celebrating the news that last week’s Queen’s Speech confirmed the new Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill will include new provisions on irresponsible dog ownership:

Jake commented:

“Earlier this year, I met with Rossendale resident Jenny Nedwell and her guide dog Riley to offer my support to their campaign. The announcement in the Queen’s Speech is a major victory and will ensure that attacks on guide dogs and other assistance dogs are treated as an aggravated attack in England and Wales.”

The number of unemployed claimants in the Rossendale and Darwen constituency in March 2013 has fallen to 2,095. This is 239 lower than the same month last year.
