Last week my team met with the Environment Agency to discuss local beaches and water quality concerns.
Another issue I've been working with the EA on, to protect people’s homes and livelihoods, is coastal erosion.
The East Yorkshire coast is the fastest eroding coastline in Western Europe, retreating by up to 4 metres a year.
In Parliament I also serve as a member of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee, where we recently published a report on this issue.
So it was great to speak to BBC Radio 4, ITV Calendar News and BBC Yorkshire to highlight what more needs to be done.
