I have led campaigns locally, nationally and internationally to strengthen environmental laws and to stop plastic pollution.

368 extra police officers have been added to the Essex Force, a new local policing team is now active in Chelmsford City Centre, prioritising knife crime, drugs and anti social behaviour.

Our schools, colleges and university are exceptional. I fight for fairer funding for all.

Our second railway station is now firmly on track with an agreed £218 million funding deal.

New specialist services are coming to Broomfield and Essex meaning shorter waits and better treatments. Our new medical school is now training 100 new doctors every year.

In my constituency, there are a wide range of charities and community action groups that are absolutely committed to reducing loneliness.

As Chelmsford’s MP I work with local authorities, volunteers and charities to make sure that, together, we do all we can to address the issues which result in homelessness.
