The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Yet again, local MP Sir John has demonstrated his skill as a politician by delivering for his constituents when it really matters.
When considering the uniformly tough approach taken to COVID-19 restrictions by the Secretary of State for Health, it is nothing short of incredible that Sir John managed to obtain a concession, in writing!
Fingers crossed that case numbers and other considered metrics do not increase significantly and our request to move into Tier 2 – thanks to the work of Sir John – will be considered specifically.
Another example of how Sir John’s years of political experience and established relationships in Parliament can improve the lives of people here at home.

Is it not about time the letters appearing in all the Spalding newspapers paying homage to John Hayes stopped.
I think John does not need this homage as he does what he is supposed to do as an MP.
Whether his decisions are right or not is another thing.
We are told John obtained a concession in writing from Matt Hancock.
Well big deal because, as anyone with any sense will now, we will only go into a lower tier when the infection rate decreases.
It does not matter if the rate is below the national average if it is rising.
The announcement just made appears to leave us in tier 3, so so much for the written concession.
It is very disappointing to read such comments from Mr Yarham as it raises the question of suitability for the post he holds
