Standing up for Southend West and Leigh
In the last two years we have achieved a great deal together. I am looking forward to taking my record of action to the residents of our city and putting my positive vision for unlocking our city's potential and creating a city of opportunity to every one of our residents. On this website you can find my news, campaigns and more about me. I'm here to help, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Save our local railways
Please sign our petition below to stop our excellent C2C and Greater Anglia railways going backwards
The Labour Government has announced that both C2C and Greater Anglia railways will be taken back into Government ownership and management next year as part of their plan to re-nationalise the railways.
Both operate efficiently and the services are reliable. Nationalisation of the railways doesn't work.
Sign our petition to save Southend's railway services.
My maiden speech!
😁 On Tuesday, May 5th 2022, I made my maiden speech to the House of Commons! 🗣️
I spoke about Southend's history, Sir David's legacy in causes like The Endometriosis Foundation and Dogs Trust, my passion for education, the importance of our healthcare Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, my belief in equality of opportunity for all in schools like Westcliff High School for Girls (where my mother went!), Southend’s nation-leading charities like The Music Man Project Essex & Prost8UK and our brilliant local businesses like tappdcocktails 🥂😁 all of which I made sure to mention in my speech!
I've considered it a privilege to be the Member of Parliament for Southend West when I was first elected in 2022 but as I made my speech it really hit home: to be able to stand up, pay tribute to Sir David Amess and celebrate everything that's incredible about our city was just amazing! 😊
Making this speech meant I could take part in debates, table motions and much more! I am committed to getting on with the job of making Southend safer, healthier and wealthier for all! 🙌
