While Parliament remained in recess last week, I’ve continued to meet with constituents to discuss key local issues, including health and social care, SEND and business support.
Last week, Parliament entered recess, giving me the opportunity to spend time out and about across our constituency.
Local Liberal Democrat MPs Caroline Voaden (South Devon), Steve Darling (Torbay) and Martin Wrigley (Newton Abbot) have welcomed the news that Ofwat is being replaced by a tougher water regulator as a victory for local people.
SEND change is sorely needed. But this reform must be honest, ambitious, and must have children at its heart. It cannot see children’s rights rolled back.
Last week, I called for reform to government strategy on eating disorders and pushed for the continuation of the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF).
Last week, I called for the government to review their local housing strategy in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, discussed ways to mitigate pensioner poverty and held a meeting with Community Transport to discuss rural bus provision.
