I know the cost of living is still too high. Nationally, our Labour Government is making progress in repairing an economy that left too many people struggling to get ahead.

Closer to home, I am putting my background in finance to good use. I am working with the Bletchley Investment Taskforce to attract new investment, support local growth and make the case for the investment our communities deserve. At the same time, I am standing alongside our farmers, pushing for fairer prices for their produce and a level playing field that enables them to compete and thrive.

My focus is simple: backing local businesses, creating good jobs, and building a stronger local economy so that more people have the opportunity to get on in life.

As your MP, I will:

·     Unlock investment in Bletchley by driving the Investment Taskforce to bring in new businesses, create jobs and apprenticeships, and kickstart regeneration of our town centre and industrial base.

·     Strengthen and promote independent high street businesses across Winslow, Buckingham and Bletchley, helping our town centres to flourish.

·     Take on the cost-of-living crisis by forcing down energy, food and housing bills, so families keep more of what they earn.

·     Stand up for Buckinghamshire farmers, fighting for fairer prices for their produce and a level playing field so they can compete globally.

I’m proud of the progress our Labour Government has made in fixing the NHS. We’re already seeing waiting times come down, helping more people get the care they need sooner.

But there is still more to do. And I am working with local NHS leaders, councils and healthcare providers to improve access to care across our area. In Westminster I am pressing the Government to deliver the new Milton Keynes Hospital on time, campaigning for better local health provision, and pushing for more services closer to where people live.

My team and I are also working hard to champion children’s mental health and reduce the delays that leave too many families waiting for support. The NHS is one of our country's greatest achievements, but it needs to work for everyone.

As your MP, I will:

·     Work with the Central and East and Thames Valley ICBs, Milton Keynes City and Buckinghamshire Councils, and the NHS to improve access to GPs, dentists and neighbourhood health services.

·     Hold the Government’s feet to the fire to deliver the new Milton Keynes hospital on time and in full.

·     Fight for a new health hub in Bletchley to bring more NHS services closer to where people live.

·     Prioritise young people’s mental health by expanding CAMHS support across Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire.

I know the difference the right opportunities can make to a young person’s future, and I back our government’s ambitious goal of lifting 450,000 children across the UK out of poverty.

Here in Buckingham and Bletchley, I’m working with schools, colleges, universities and local employers to expand opportunities for young people across our constituency. I’m pushing for better support for children with special educational needs and disabilities, and campaigning to break down the barriers facing families.

With major projects such as East West Rail and new investment across our region, I want local young people to be first in line to benefit.

As your MP, I will:

·     Press Government to ensure its reforms deliver faster, tailored support for children with special educational needs and disabilities, increasing access to speech and language therapists and educational psychologists.

·     Partner with local schools, colleges, universities and employers to grow apprenticeships, enhance skills training, and unlock career pathways.

·     Bring down childcare costs so no parent has to choose between their job and their family.

Whether it’s flooding, sewage discharges into our rivers, or protecting our countryside, local people rightly expect action. We can all see the effects of the climate crisis.

I’ve met with community groups, councils, environmental organisations and residents to tackle the issues affecting our environment, especially flooding. My team and I are working to improve flood resilience, press water companies, including Anglian Water, to invest in vital infrastructure, and hold them accountable when they fall short.

In Westminster, I’m making the case for cleaner transport and for the UK to lead the way on climate action. Done right, it can protect our environment, create jobs and strengthen our national security.

As your MP, I will:

·     Co-ordinate action through the Buckingham Multi-Agency Flood Action Forum to secure the funding required to boost our town’s flood resilience, and protect homes and businesses.

·     Challenge water companies to invest in vital infrastructure and cut sewage discharges into our waterways.

A strong community starts with people feeling safe, connected and proud of where they live. I’ve made it clear that we need visible policing to tackle anti-social behaviour, retail crime and rural crime.

We’ve got so much going for us. Through initiatives such as the Bletchley Town Deal, we can attract investment, support local businesses, improve our communities and restore pride in our neighbourhoods. I’m playing my part by fighting for infrastructure that keeps pace with growth and for investment that strengthens our town centres and local communities.

From Buckingham to Bletchley, Winslow and our villages, I’m focused on making sure our communities get the support, investment and opportunities they need to thrive.

As your MP, I will:

·     Campaign relentlessly for increased police presence on our streets to crack down on antisocial behaviour and target violent crime hotspots.

·     Fight rural crime by pressing Government to produce a dedicated rural crime strategy.

·     Campaign for better local bus services, holding private bus companies to account where routes have been cut and pushing Milton Keynes City and Buckinghamshire Councils to step in where necessary.

·     Work with Milton Keynes City and Buckinghamshire Councils to secure infrastructure funding alongside new homes, so that growth benefits communities, creates places, and preserves local identities.
