My Plan

Standing up for residents during the recent rise in the cost of living, on issues such as fuel pricing, energy and food.

Tackling crime and anti-social behaviour is your number one priority. We are a family-friendly seaside town that has a vibrant night time economy. We must feel safe and enjoy living in our beautiful location.

I am passionate about protecting and preserving Bournemouth's beautiful surroundings. In particular, our stunning coastline is the jewel in Bournemouth's crown and is what draws millions of visitors to the town every year and contributes a significant amount in tourism revenue to our local economy.

As the MP for Bournemouth East, one of my priorities is to continue supporting local businesses and work to increase local job opportunities. This includes tourism which is one of the biggest employment sectors in Bournemouth.

I am determined to continue improving local infrastructure in Bournemouth East. As our tourism industry continues to grow it is vital that transport access to the town remains suitable and is continually reviewed and improved. I have therefore campaigned heavily for access improvements to Pokesdown Station in Boscombe - securing meetings with the Transport Minister Baroness Kramer and with the rail industry, and hand-delivering a petition directly to Downing Street.

It is vital in Bournemouth that we protect, and continue to invest in, our local health and social care services.
