On Monday I appeared on BBC Three Counties to discuss East of Luton. Development needs to deliver the right infrastructure before houses are built - and I'm pushing (amongst other things) for a new GP surgery to be delivered to serve our villages.
Local village pubs are so important to our communities. That’s why this week I met again with the Save the Plough campaigners to discuss our efforts to protect this vital pub in Kings Walden.
Last year, the Prime Minister made cutting NHS waiting lists one of his top priorities for the country – and in Hitchin, Harpenden and the villages cutting waiting lists and improving local healthcare is one of my top priorities as well.
Your views shape my work as your Member of Parliament. On Saturday I was back out on the doorsteps with local Councillor Ralph Muncer to listen to you about your ideas for the future of our communities. Lots of very positive conversations!
We’ve been campaigning hard for some time to open up the Eastern access to Hitchin Station. My team met with North Herts Council on Friday to discuss a range of issues - including how we can make faster progress on this really important campaign.
The Plough is a really important pub for people in Kings Walden. I’m working with local campaigners to explore options to save the pub from the threat of closure. On Friday I met with the Save the Plough team to discuss next steps.
After the good news that over £1m is being invested in local grassroots sport, on Friday I visited Holwell and Breachwood Green to take a look at how that funding will make a real difference for local people.
It is always great to be able to host constituents for a tour of Parliament. On Thursday it was a pleasure to show another group around during one of my regular tours of Parliament - opening up the centre of our democracy and life as an MP.
