Priorities

Listening locally. Acting nationally. Delivering real results.

People in Beverley and Holderness work hard, look after their families and care deeply about where they live.

But too often, decisions made nationally do not reflect life in rural and coastal East Yorkshire.

That is why my work is focused on four local priorities.

Jobs

Backing local employers, apprenticeships, farmers, small businesses and young people trying to get a proper start.

Family budgets

Sanding up for people hit by rising bills, higher taxes, council tax, fuel costs and the cost of living.

Place

Protecting the towns, villages, farms, coast and countryside that make Beverley and Holderness special.

Services

Fighting for the local things people rely on, from roads, buses and banks to schools, GPs, dentists, pharmacies and hospitals.

Over the last year, I have been working on the issues residents have raised with me most often.

I have fought for better roads and action on potholes.

I have pressed for better flood protection and drainage after residents raised serious concerns in local villages.

I have worked to protect access to banking, cash and cheque services after Lloyds announced it was leaving Hedon.

I have stood up for farmers, rural businesses and local employers who are being hit by rising costs and poor decisions from government.

I have backed young people by pushing for proper apprenticeships, better school funding and more support for local training.

And I have challenged plans which could change the character of our towns, villages and countryside without proper local consent.

But there is more to do.

Your answers will help me decide what to raise in Parliament, what to take up with ministers, and what local campaigns to focus on over the coming months.
