I am so proud & honoured to be elected the MP for our wonderful new constituency of East Grinstead, Uckfield & the villages. Much of this is the Mid Sussex District including Ardingly and Balcombe, as well as the High Weald and even small parts of Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill in Wivelsfield.
I will stand up for all of you. Rest assured; I will be holding the new Prime Minister & Government to account. Thank you to my fellow candidates and I applaud the positive spirit of a hard-fought campaign. I wish the new MP for the new shaped Mid Sussex seat well in her role.
In ‘EGU’, as my team call the patch - we have 2 amazing towns & around 30 magnificent villages to look after, it’s crucial I’m able to represent & reach all local residents and businesses. The environment we live in is precious & we don’t want its rural character lost and need to balance all this with more local job opportunities and suitable infrastructure.
Some of my main focuses will be working to boost our crucial local economy, improve rail links, tackle rural crime alongside our PCC Kay Bourne to boost police visibility, boost health services & work closely with the councils to properly improve roads.
I’m also delighted to serve in the interim Shadow Cabinet, as Shadow Minister for Women & Equalities. I focussed on women’s employment at DWP, appointed the 1st Cross Government DWP Menopause Champion, & led on GEO at DWP. Standing up for women’s equality isn’t new to me & as a mother of 2 girls, I know how important this role is.
I will hold this new Government to account & work closely with my Party to stand up on equality matters. We do need our country to work for women & all communities ensuring we’re all happy, safe & able to reach our full potential.
