Keeping Kent moving

Brenley Corner

Whether it’s the school run or commute to work, travel is part of life for many of us. I’m determined to help make these daily journeys better for people in Faversham and Mid Kent.

I’m continuing to campaign for the investment we need in our infrastructure – including road improvement schemes like Brenley Corner, motorway re-surfacing, and a relief road for Maidstone.

We also need infrastructure that will help people go greener – with more electric charging points in our towns and villages, safer pavements and cycle lanes, and better buses.

Lorries parking on residential roads, lay-bys, verges and other inappropriate places is a blight on parts of Kent. I'm campaigning for more parking spaces and tougher fines when drivers break the rules.

Making train travel more accessible

I'm determined to improve people's experience of rail travel in Kent. This includes fairer fares so people have the option of flexible season tickets and proper compensation when something goes wrong. We also need to make our trains and stations more user friendly for people who are less mobile, including disabled people and parents with pushchairs.

Operation Brock review badly needed

An update on Operation Brock

I know just how awful local roads have been in the last few weeks. I have spent my fair share of time in the queues on the A20 and M2.

Funding boost for bus services

I’m delighted that Kent is getting over £35 million to improve our local bus network.

Buses are a lifeline for so many people – whether it’s getting to work or school or heading into town to meet up with friends - so this money is very welcome news.
