Callum’s Catch Up 09.06.25
Opportunities, opportunities, opportunities
I hope you all had a lovely weekend! It was nice to have some time to take stock of a big week of policy announcements, all of which made me extremely proud to be a part of this government. From making sure an extra 500,000 young people are eligible for free school meals, to ensuring all new homes have solar panels - we are working hard for you.
All this positive news has led me to thinking a lot about opportunities: the ones I’ve had, the ones our young people deserve, and the ones we must continue to create as a nation. I’ve shared a few thoughts on this topic in my latest column in The Bucks Herald, please do have a read.
Nationally we are turning things around, and locally I am focused on supporting constituents. This is why I am continuing to hold Anglian Water’s feet to the fire on polluted waterways, why I have joined other local MPs to call on Buckinghamshire Council to make use of new powers to run bus services, and why I have launched a new survey on management companies and leasehold. If there is anything else I can do to help you, please let me know.
As always, thank you for reading. If there is anything I can do to help you, please get in touch.
