Next week we will mark Remembrance Day. A day where we pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of all those who have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

The weeks leading up to Remembrance Day are always a time to reflect on the debt of gratitude we owe to our Armed Forces. I will be paying tribute to the sacrifices they have made for us at several local services over the coming week.

My office often gets enquiries from the public about details of the local services that are taking place across Cannock Chase.
