Campaign Responses

Here's where you can find my thoughts and my position on campaigns people have emailed me about. It might take me a bit of time to formulate a response so if you've sent in a campaign email and can't yet see a response then please do check back later.

Rooftop Solar

I’m proud that my constituents have such an active consciousness towards building a sustainable future both for Southend West and nationally.

Protecting Landscapes

I've been contacted recently by constituents about protecting historic landscapes. I appreciate the depth of your concerns about reports of proposals to build a solar farm on land that inspired The Hobbit.

School Meals

I agree that all children should be able to access healthy food at school every day.

Belfairs Woodland Nature Reserve, Leigh-on-sea

Anna's outlines the Government's response to campaign 'People's Plan for Nature'

I have been contacted by many of my constituents over concerns regarding my support for the protection of our environment and subsequent wildlife. Biodiversity loss is a global problem that needs a global solution.

Animal Welfare

I have been contacted by many constituents about the very important issue of animal welfare. As an animal lover myself, this is an issue that I take extremely seriously, and I am proud to be continuing the work that Sir David Amess did on this.

Retained EU Law Bill

In January 2022, the Government announced plans to bring forward a Bill to create a more innovative regulatory regime that would not have been possible were the UK still a member of the European Union.

Financial Services and Markets Bill

I was incredibly concerned to learn of PayPal’s decision to shut down certain accounts citing its “Acceptable Use Policy”.

Gear Change

The Government is investing over £2 billion in cycling and walking over the course of this Parliament.

Plastic Reduction

The Resources and Waste Strategy for England sets out the Government’s plans to reduce, reuse, and recycle more plastic than we do now.

Protected Fishing

I am very proud to represent a coastal community, and fishing has been an important part of our local economy for a thousand years. My father was a keen fisherman and used to take me out in his boat at the weekend, and I want to preserve this pastime for generations to come.

Water Pollution

Southend West is known for its outstanding fishing and tourist industries, and I understand how important clean water is for everyone locally.

Protecting Nature

The Government is not proposing an attack on nature. What is happening is that a number of environmental charities are sadly providing very provocative and misleading headlines suggesting that environmental protections are being ripped up.
