It was great to catch up with MPs local to our #Basildon site, including Mark Francois and Stephen Metcalfe, who heard about the opportunities that #TeamTempestUK is bringing to the South East.

I know that cuts to bus services were no small thing for residents in #EastTilbury and #Horndon . However, it is fantastic that the Govt Department for Transport has awarded Thurrock Council £432,000 to support the reinstatement of bus services.👇
