It was a privilege to join James Duddridge MP to judge the Southend Citizens Advice festive bake-off competition on Monday.
The team do a fantastic job providing valuable impartial and independent advice to local people - and it was great to see them all in such high spirits.
There was plenty of baking talent on show, but the day was won by Viorica's strawberry sponge.
I'm looking forward to working to the support the team as we move into the new year.
