Our Plan for Mid Bedfordshire

I have lived in Mid Bedfordshire for a decade, I am a Central Bedfordshire councillor, and a school governor. Whether it's stopping speculative developments like Greenwoods near Silsoe, saving our rural bus services from budget cuts, or securing local healthcare funding, I work hard with everyone and anyone to get things done. 

I am a local resident who shares your priorities, and as your MP I am fully focused on delivering for Mid Bedfordshire. I expect to be held to account for my work. And so you can do that, I am setting up a fully staffed office in our constituency and will be very accessible.

  • SUPPORTING OUR FARMERS AND OUR RURAL ECONOMY

    We have a vibrant rural economy but there is so much more potential. Farmers produce great food for us all. I will back farmers to thrive, and support them to be great custodians of our countryside.

  • PROTECTING OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE

    I was brought up on a farm and I have lived in the countryside all my life. We should protect our countryside, the natural environment, and prime agricultural land.

  • PUTTING CHILDREN FIRST

    I benefited from a great state education and as a school governor I know how important this is for your children and grandchildren. We need to have enough school places in the right locations to align with housing growth.

  • A GP WHEN YOU NEED ONE

    Accessing healthcare has become increasingly difficult with a rising local population. I am working with Mayor Tom and Bedford Borough councillors to secure the new surgery in Wixams.

  • KEEPING US SAFE

    Anti-social behaviour is a scourge. As a member of the Bedfordshire Police and Crime Panel I have been pushing for more community policing for our rural areas and small towns. As your MP I will continue to do that, as well as fight for our county to have the funds it needs to keep us all safe.
