My Top 5 Campaigns
1) The NHS and Community Care
I’ve been campaigning on local NHS and Community Services (Springboard, Hobkirk House, Surbiton Hospital, and more…), but the priority now is Kingston Hospital. Labour’s NHS cuts could threaten A&E and Maternity Services. A Conservative Government will halt these closures. Kingston Hospital is safe with us.
2) School Places and Standards
Kingston needs more good school places - urgently. Campaigning with local parents, our Local Schools for Local Children campaign has made the Council take action – but there’s still a long way to go. I’ve secured this commitment from the Shadow Schools Secretary: a Conservative Government will fund the expansion we need and make it easier to find new school sites.
3) Local shops and businesses
Small shops and businesses are vital to our community and economy. I’ve established forums to help small businesses fight local campaigns and brought the Shadow Minister for Business to hear their concerns for himself. I support our local shops and businesses.
4) Crime and anti-social behaviour
I’ve met families disturbed every night by anti-social behaviour, and pensioners too scared to open the door. I’ve launched local campaigns to tackle crime and backed local police bases – but we need a change of Government to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour effectively.
5) Transport
I’ve just had a great success in my Rail campaign. Stephen Hammond MP, Shadow Transport Minister, has committed to me that Conservatives would change future rail franchises. This means train companies must listen! At last we can expect results from our campaigns on re-zoning and station improvements.
