I am so proud & honoured to be elected the MP for our wonderful new constituency of East Grinstead, Uckfield & the villages. I will stand up for all of you. Rest assured; I will be holding the new Prime Minister & Government to account too. Thank you to my fellow candidates and I applaud the positive spirit of a hard-fought campaign.
In ‘EGU’ as my team and I call the patch, we have 2 amazing towns & around 30 magnificent villages & it is crucial I am able to represent & reach all residents. I know in Uckfield from speaking to residents & local councillors, there’s an influx of housing development. The environment we live in is precious & we don’t want its rural character lost. We understand first time buyers are struggling & new housing must be built. It needs to be the right housing in the right place with the right infrastructure – including improved schools, health services, roads, shops, & better water quality, reliability & preventing future water outages.
My main focuses will also be working to boost our crucial local economy, improve rail links, tackle rural crime alongside PCC Katy Bourne, upgrade health services & work closely with the councils to properly improve our 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 equalities previously. 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 need our country to work for women & all members of our communities ensuring we all feel happy, safe & able to reach our full potential.
