It was wonderful to visit Reading Buses as they bring 17 new electric buses into their fleet. These vehicles were made in Britain, have more space and better facilities for disabled residents.

It is a fundamental point of fairness that funding should be based on need, which is why I fully support the Government’s approach to the Local Government Finance Settlement.

I raised the issue of fly tipping, which I know is a concern for residents across Reading, and praised work by Reading Borough Council to tackle this problem. You can learn more about the Love Clean Reading app and reporting fly tipping at www.reading.gov.uk/waste-and-re...

The future of Thames Water is very important to residents and I have been raising a number of issues on their behalf. The government will always act in the national interest on these issues, and while the company remains financially stable, the government stands ready for all eventualities.

I raised concerns about the impact that any potential cuts to neighbouring fire services would have on our own excellent service here in Berkshire.

Last week I visited the Royal Berkshire Hospital with Ashley Dalton, the Minister for Public Health. Across England, the NHS saw the waiting list fall by more than 86,000 in November to 7.31 million, that’s the second biggest drop in 15 years.

I was pleased to welcome the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband, to Reading today to visit the homes built by the council on the former Arthur Hill Pool site. 🧵1/3

I paid tribute to the great work by Labour locally to make bus routes available to more rural communities who often lack access to regular public transport.

I praised the vital work of charities working with the UK Government to help developing countries.

I’m backing Reading Borough Council’s new Public Space Protection Order to tackle anti-social behaviour in our town. The PSPO gives council and police more powers to deal with aggressive begging, street drinking, the anti-social use of e-bikes & scooters, and dangerous dogs.
