Quality transport is key to unlocking growth. Yesterday I spoke about restoring international rail services to #Ashford and using Labour’s record funding to fix roads and improve local transport networks — including rural areas like #Hawkinge — to create economic opportunities.

Like many of my constituents, I have lost faith in South East Water. Today I raised the recent shortages, caused by the company’s underinvestment, and asked what the Government can do to ensure it maintains a basic standard of service, especially during periods of high demand.

Funding for new schools-based nurseries will provide many young people with a great chance for the best start in life. It was brilliant to speak with Damian McBeath, the Principal of the John Wallis Academy will mean for their school and families in our community!

Since entering Parliament, I’ve worked to strengthen protections for young people from the harms of social media. During my time in the NHS, I saw the impact on mental health and will continue to support efforts to improve safeguards, including the Government’s consultation, which is very welcome.

I have written to KCC and spoken to its leader about the Ashford Household Waste and Recycling Centre - closed since February. This is causing frustration, especially over bank holidays, and contributing to fly-tipping. I will continue to press KCC to reopen the facility.

It was a pleasure to speak in today’s King’s Speech debate on the great work this Labour Government has done to deliver positive change over the past 22 months, and on how we must continue to go further and faster to build upon it.

Here’s a message from the Early Education Minister, Olivia Bailey MP about Beaver Green Primary’s new Best Start school-based nursery — helping parents in Ashford with the cost of living and making it easier to balance work and family life. beststartinlife.gov.uk

Today, ahead of Kent Fire and Rescue Service’s consultation, I asked the Leader of the House what steps the Government is taking to protect fire services serving rural communities.

This morning I spoke with @JKyleOfficial on @TalkTV about why we need to continue delivering positive change under Keir Starmer’s leadership: 
NHS investment is UP
NHS waiting times are DOWN
Transport investment is UP
Number of asylum hotels are DOWN
Deportations are UP

Today, I followed up on corridor care at the William Harvey Hospital. There is more work to do, but I welcome the progress being made by the Government - including more doctors, more beds, and faster discharges nationwide - working towards ending corridor care by the end of this Parliament.
