A Strong MP for Bosworth: my first days in office

There are many local issues which need tackling across Hinckley and Bosworth.

This is why the area needs a strong MP ready to stand up for the community.

I will not be afraid to step on toes to get things done for this area.

I have a strong track record of getting results.

I offer real experience and real results.

If I am elected as your next MP on Thursday here are just some of the local issues I will be working on in my first days as your Member of Parliament:

• Fighting against the Tory County Council cuts to local community centres including the Westfield Centre in Hinckley.
• Fighting the Tory plans to sell off local care homes including Harvey House and the Limes.
• Fighting the Tory County Council plans to axe the subsidy to the South Charnwood school bus service.
• Working to make sure excessive housing plans are shelved and that more sensible options are developed by the Borough Council, especially for Earl Shilton, Barwell and Markfield.
• I will hold my own public inquiry into the traveller site proposals across the constituency: working with local residents to make sure plans are sensible.
• I will campaign for an Accident and Emergency at Hinckley hospital. I will raise this immediately with Health Service Ministers.
• I will demand a formal review of the Conservative-controlled fire authority’s decision to cut firefighters from Hinckley, and will raise this ridiculous decision immediately with Government Ministers.
• I will launch a campaign for a new leisure centre for Earl Shilton and Barwell.
• I will meet immediately with the bosses at Leicestershire Police and call for an assurance that frontline policing in Hinckley and Bosworth will be maintained and that we see officers and PCSOs on the beat working with communities to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.
• I will meet with local businesses and agencies to make sure this area gets its fair share of support for enterprise to make sure the local economy recovers and we create new jobs for local people.
• I will call a summit to discuss the future of our local community pubs.
