Councillors and volunteers are playing a crucial role in our response to the coronavirus.

I’ve been truly impressed at the scale and speed of the response here in Faversham and Mid Kent, from our County Council to parishes and community groups, and everything in between.

The Coronavirus outbreak is the biggest public health emergency in a generation.

I’ve long been a supporter of buses.

They can help reduce congestion on our roads, improve air quality, and provide a vital lifeline to people. But I know services have been under pressure in recent years.

We’re a step further to finally fixing the problems at Brenley Corner.

The junction has been included in the Government’s second Road Investment Strategy – securing funds for an improvement scheme to be developed.

This Budget delivers on people’s priorities.

Right now, one of those priorities is responding to Covid-19.

People have waited long enough for lifts at Headcorn station. It’s a busy station and the steps pose a real challenge for many people.

I’ve called for Headcorn to be included in the list of stations receiving funds from the Government’s Access for All programme.

People are fed up of sitting in queues on the M2 Junction 5. The junction badly needs upgrading to cope with the volume of traffic.

Highways England came up with a plan to improve this junction last year, which had widespread support.

People in Platts Heath and Sandway have two good reasons to celebrate.

The site of a proposed lorry park is set to become a new woodland instead. This is great news for local residents and nature alike. 

I’m delighted to have made the list of the top 100 women in Westminster.

Faversham’s Magna Carta dates from 1300 and is one of the town’s most important treasures.

I’m delighted to be supporting plans for this ancient document to be put on permanent display in Faversham so it can be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
