Downing Street's praise for Chelmsley community centre


THE Prime Minister has paid a personal tribute to the "pivotal" work at a well-known Chelmsley Wood venue.
Theresa May's official account tweeted a picture of Meriden MP Caroline Spelman among a crowd at the Three Trees Centre.
The group pictured outside the venue also included a number of borough councillors and members of the Gro-Organic social enterprise.
In her post last Friday, Mrs May said: "@spelmanc is proud of the work of @3TreesCentre, which has been providing services in her constituency since 1970.
"Places like these are pivotal in so many communities, thank you for all that you do."
It's the second high-profile endorsement from a front rank politician in as many months.
A few weeks ago, Labour MP Chuka Umunna - once tipped as a possible leader of his party - paid a visit to Three Trees.
Mr Umunna joined Dame Caroline for a tour of the venue, with their visit forming part of the work being done by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration.
The group’s aim is to look at ways to break down barriers between communities of different ages or cultures.
Tweeting afterwards, Mr Umunna, the former Shadow Business Secretary, said he was impressed by the work being done at the community centre to build links between different generations.
