8 Jul 2026Local Governmentmeasured“In South Glos, the Lib Dems made sure local people could have their say at planning committee, reversing Conservative changes. Today I voted against Labour's plans to force more planning decisions to bypass planning committees, taking away local people's voice.”↗
5 Jul 2026Educationempathetic“Thank you to the members of South Glos Youth Partnership I met in Yate. Youth work is under appreciated and underfunded, and yet it is essential for early interventions that can avoid problems later on for young people. I will push for better funding for the services they provide.”↗
3 Jul 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“I have handed in the petition to Parliament about the planning issues around the ‘megashed’ in Plining. It’s actually handed in to the chamber of the Commons. I will keep pushing to change the law on historical consents.”↗
2 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Thank you to the pupils at Chipping Sodbury School who hosted me for a question and answer session. Some really thoughtful questions and a good debate about the social media ban for under 16s.”↗
1 Jul 2026Health & NHSangry“The Amos report confirms our worst fears: maternity services in England are fundamentally broken, and the cost of political neglect is being paid in trauma, injury, and lost lives. The recommendations must be implemented in full and without delay.”↗
30 Jun 2026Transportmeasured“The roads minister has written to me in response to my letter raising my concerns over more delays for the M49 'ghost junction'. He told me a lot about the past and present situation, but not much about what is going to happen going forward.”↗
26 Jun 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“I asked the minister what the government is doing to promote local food production”↗
25 Jun 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Even though renewable energy is cheaper, that's not reflected in your bills. I intervened in the climate change debate to highlight to the Government how they can change this.”↗
24 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“I spoke at the Examination In Public, looking at the local plan for new housing. I told inspectors it’s essential that grey belt land isn’t a back door to erode the green belt and see Bristol connected to areas like Coalpit Heath. Watch my full statement: youtu.be/h2eXkQTgdhE”↗
23 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“I’ve visited St Paul’s Catholic Primary School in Yate to talk to the Year 4’s about my job and how Parliament works. They had some good questions prepared!”↗
23 Jun 2026Othersarcastic“bsky.app/profile/libdems.org.uk/post/3mowrm2qzas2l”↗
21 Jun 2026Transportmeasured“I've raised the farcical situation of the M49 'ghost junction' in Parliament and it was covered by Points West.”↗
20 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“It was an honour to take part in the South Glos Armed Forces Day event at Page Park today. The day recognises the sacrifices made by our service men and women.”↗
19 Jun 2026Transportcelebratory“The Badminton Road bridge is open! I've been down to have a look before cars can use it on Saturday”↗
18 Jun 2026Transportcelebratory“After campaigning with bus users and councillors, it’s great news that new bus services will start in July. They include a new around Thornbury service, the Y2C extended to serve Iron Acton, Ladden Garden Village and Westerleigh Road and the Y8 saved and extended to serve Leyhill”↗
17 Jun 2026Transportangry“It’s unbelievable that National Highways has only now revealed that the M49 ‘ghost junction’ has faults that will delay its opening - 6 years after it was built. Why weren’t we told earlier? nationalhighways.co.uk/press/m49-ju...”↗
16 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“It was great to visit Cafe Compton again, a fabulous community cafe in Easter Compton. Had some lovely chats over the delicious cake and heard about a few issues that we will be looking into.”↗
12 Jun 2026Transportmeasured“The countdown is on to the opening of the Badminton Road bridge. It can’t come quickly enough for local businesses”↗
12 Jun 2026Transportmeasured“The countdown is on to the opening of the Badminton Road bridge. It can’t come quickly enough for local businesses.”↗
11 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“A planning application has now been made by Edward Ware Homes for 860 homes in Coalpit Heath, on fields around Frog Lane. This is separate to proposals for homes off Roundways. It’s not in the local plan and I don’t support it.”↗
10 Jun 2026Transportmeasured“It was good to be in Charfield for surgeries with local councillor Jon O’Neill. I also got a chance to see the progress at Charfield railway station.”↗
9 Jun 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“The Lib Dems Essential Energy Guarantee would see every household receive a fixed allowance of energy at a discounted price, to cover daily basic needs. This guarantee would save the average family in Thornbury and Yate around £100 off their energy bill each year.”↗
7 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“From visiting an award winning local business to lobbying an education minister with SEND charities, it's been another busy week.”↗
6 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“June is Pride month and I've enjoyed an event in Thornbury”↗
6 Jun 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“I’ve had a meeting with the Prisons Minister, Lord Timpson to discuss prisoners absconding from Leyhill Prison. I was seeking assurances about how prisoners are risk-assessed. We also discussed Ashfield and Eastwood Park prisons.”↗
5 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasured“I was at Downing Street to support the campaign for fair hospice funding. Nearly 60% of hospices in England have either made or are considering cuts to frontline services. It’s time for the NHS to step in to fund vital services like those provided by St Peter’s Hospice in Bristol”↗
4 Jun 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“I asked the minister what further help the government will give farmers as Trump's war makes costs spiral”↗
3 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“I've been to see the education minister, along with special educational needs charities, to urge the government not to punish parents for their children being unable to attend school.”↗
