KING’S LYNN EURO MP PAINTS THE TOWN RED FOR NATIONAL HEART MONTH
Norfolk Euro MP Richard Howitt set pulses racing today (Friday3 February) as he joined us in the Vancouver Quarter to officially launch National Heart Month for the British Heart Foundation, the nation’s heart charity.
Richard Howitt MEP will joined local cardiac patients, volunteers and big hearted fundraisers for the British Heart Foundation to paint red giant letters spelling out the word KING’S LYNN.
During February King’s Lynn residents are being challenged to join in the charity’s “Red for Heart” fundraising campaign by baking red cakes and eating your heart out, a quiz with red questions, or even stop seeing red with a swear box around the home or office.
Labour’s Richard Howitt MEP, who is a member of the European Parliament All Party Health Group, says:"Sadly heart disease remains Britain’s biggest killer. 6,432 people in King’s Lynn and West Norfolk have coronary heart disease. I know we can count on King’s Lynn residents to wear their heart on their sleeves and help raise vital funds to tackle heart disease."
Alex Mayer, fundraising manager for the British Heart Foundation in Norfolk, added: “Heart disease can affect anyone, old or young so please join us to raise vital cash to fund lifesaving research and equipment and you will have our heartfelt thanks.”

The British Heart Foundation charity shop can be found on St Dominic’s Square in the Vancouver Centre, adjacent to Sainsburys.

Hi Randy , thanks for tnkiag a look at me as a candidate. The amalgamation of the services ( fire in particular) has been a source of debate for a very long time. I have been at the table for several discussions and reports. I believe that there is value in bringing, not only the fire service, but the municipalities together. But if I was to focus on one aspect it would be the Fire Department as it is my area of experience. I believe having one department would make for a much better and efficient service.I am not convinced that the cost savings would be huge , but it would be a better and more effective use of the emergency service funds. If it were ever to move forward it should be done properly with the focus squarely on making the service better and more balanced for the North Shore.

Kevin, I played ceocsr with your colleague for many years (Al Roberts), and he was full of praise for you. My question is simple when is someone going to look at the ridiculous duplication of services between the City and District and take action with an eye on the tax payers.Good luckRandy J (Highland Blvd)
