Doyle-Burnett (recruited at Cannock Jobs Fayre).Aidan last week met some of the local people and employers whohave benefited from Cannock Chase's inaugural Job Fayres.The Fayres had been organised and hosted by the local MP as part ofhis mission to get Cannock Chase working. In all over 600 localpeople attended the two Jobs Fayres held at South StaffordshireCollege in Cannock and the Rugeley Rose Theatre and over 360 CVswere handed out to businesses. As well as meeting potentialemployers at the fayres, local people also had the opportunity toattend a number of free seminars and workshops aimed at improvingtheir employability skills.One employer who has already benefitted is Bluebird Care, whichprovides home care to elderly and vulnerable people to help them live
independently at home. They have confirmed that as a direct result ofthe fayres they have already interviewed and recruited 4 local peoplefor positions as Care workers with more due to be in interviewed andhopefully recruited over the next couple of weeks.Sudan Milakovic Director of Bluebird Care said: "We were reallygrateful for the opportunity to recruit some excellent staff ready for the
Autumn & Winter increased need for care in the community. There isa huge demand in the area for high quality care staff and all that isrequired is a caring manner and willingness to learn."One of the new recruits Samantha Danks said: "I had not thoughtabout working in care and thought I would be turned down as I haveno experience. But, I was thrilled to be given the chance to be a carerand I know I'm going to love it. I'm very grateful that the Jobs Fayrewas held and very excited to be back in work."As well as the success at Bluebird Care, Aidan has confirmed that hehas received a number of emails from constituents who have said thatthey have been given interviews and placements as a result ofmeeting employers at the Fayres.Commenting Aidan said: "I would like thank all the businesses and
jobseekers for getting involved in these two Job Fayres.
"At the beginning of this process I was clear that if we could help justone person find employment then the Fayres would be worthwhile. Iam delighted therefore that a number of businesses including BluebirdCare have already got in touch saying that they have employedseveral people as a direct result of meeting them at the Jobs Fayres. Ihope this is just the beginning and that many more attendees will goon to gain employment."
MP swaps Question Time for milk time

Aidan recently visited Chadsmoor Community Infants and NurserySchool to become a 'milk monitor' and help celebrate World SchoolMilk Day.Chadsmoor Community Infants and Nursery School is one of
thousands of schools across more than 40 countries taking part incelebrations dedicated to World School Milk Day (28th September).The day encourages children to drink milk and aims to educate themabout the benefits of milk.In the UK, school milk is free for children in day-care or primaryeducation under the age of five, and subsidised for school studentsaged five to eleven. Milk is delivered fresh and chilled to theclassroom, distributed by students and consumed as a group.This process helps teach children responsibility, independence,manners and numeracy, and providesimportant social time in a child'sday. Further, milk is vital for building healthy bones and teeth andimproves a child's concentration, memory and creativity.Commenting after the visit Aidan said: "I was delighted to pay a visitto Chadsmoor Community Infants and Nursery School as part ofWorld School Milk Day 2011. I enjoyed being an honorary 'MilkMonitor' for the day, and was pleased to have the opportunity tosupport this international initiative which helps promote theimportance of drinking milk at school."Head Teacher from Chadsmoor Community Infants and NurserySchool, Mrs Karen Burns, said that milk at snack time in our nursery ishelping our pupils adopt healthy eating habits. She added: "It also
rehydrates and gives an energy boost enabling them to get the mostout of their active learning."

Groups have their say tosupport the ChaseAidan Burley MP has confirmed that all 4 local groups he recentlyselected to speak with a representative of the Independent Panel onForestry have now completed their discussions.This comes after Aidan was asked to identify a small number of keylocal groups who were able to put forward their views on the future of
Cannock Forest directly to the Panel looking into the future of thepublic forestry estate.The groups selected to put forward their views were: Friends ofCannock Chase, Brindley Heath Parish Council, 'Save CannockChase' Facebook Group and Hednesford Town Council.Commenting Aidan said: "I am pleased that all four of the local groupsI selected to speak to the Panel have now had the chance to do so. Iwould like to say a special thank you to all the groups for taking partand helping to support Cannock Chase."A spokesperson from the Panel Secretariat said: "The conversations
were most helpful and revealed a range of views about a number ofissues relating principally to the public forest estate and ForestryCommission, but also some about the wider Chase. The two mostcommon themes from the conversations were a clear sense of "localownership" of the Chase and the important role it plays for access forlocal people and those from the wider area."The Panel expect to publish a progress report of their findings towardsthe end of November.

I particularly enjoyed speaking with the staff and studentsabout some of the changes they have made since there conversioninto an academy as well their exciting plans for the future; in particularthe 9.7 million of Government investment it will be getting over thenext 3 years. During my visit I was intrigued to learn that 96% of thestudents walk to the School, which highlighted to me just howimportant the school is to the local community. The whole schoolshould be very proud of what they have achieved over the last coupleof years and I firmly believe that with the sponsorship of StaffordshireUniversity and the new freedoms that come with academy status, theSchool will continue to go from strength to strength.
Aidan in the papers:Week in WestminsterAidan Burley MP, Chase Post
Thursday 13th October 2011
Parliament returned this week afterthe traditional Party Conference
season. There has been muchdebate as to whether such eventsare still necessary, but I for onewelcome the opportunity three weeks away from Westminster bringsto spend more time in the constituency.My main focus during this recent recess was to organise and hostCannock Chases first ever Jobs Fayres - one in Cannock, and one inRugeley. Over 600 local people attended and over 360 CVs werehanded out which was great considering these were the first of theirkind in the constituency.When organising them, I felt that if we could help just one person find
employment, then all the work would be worthwhile. So you canimagine my delight when Bluebird Care got in touch last week sayingthat they have already employed people as a direct result of meetingthem at the Jobs Fayres and are going on to interview even more. Ihope this is just the beginning and that many more companies willfollow suit.In the last couple of weeks I have also had the privilege of visitingCannock Chase High and the new Staffordshire University Academy,the latter of which will shortly be receiving 9.7 million of Governmentinvestment for improvements. Both schools should be very proud ofwhat they have achieved over the last few years and I firmly believe
that with the new freedoms that come with academy status, they willcontinue to go from strength to strength.I completed my time in the constituency last week by hosting a veryuseful meeting with key stakeholders on the main issues affecting theChase Line rail service, which I know is vital to many of myconstituents. Among issues discussed included the proposedtimetable changes by London Midland as well as potential future plansfor electrification and line speed upgrades. It is vital that we haveregular, fast services from Rugeley to Birmingham.
