I have recently been contacted by many constituents with the PETA campaign to replace the real fur used in the Bearskin hats with faux fur. These bearskin hats are an iconic image of Britain and the British Army.
It is so important that we do what we can to help the victims of the Post Office Scandal. The improper prosecutions were an unacceptable miscarriage of justice, and we must now work to set the record straight and achieve justice for those involved.
As you are probably aware, Southend is not currently included within the regulations of ULEZ. However, that is not to say that our constituents are not affected by this scheme.
I am sorry to hear of the distress many of my constituents and their pets feel when the fireworks season comes. I would like to assure all my constituents that I take animal welfare in all forms very seriously.
I’m proud that my constituents have such an active consciousness towards building a sustainable future both for Southend West and nationally. Protecting the beauty of our countryside is something I consider deeply important, and I also appreciate the need to decarbonise the energy sector.
I've been contacted recently by constituents about protecting historic landscapes. I appreciate the depth of your concerns about reports of proposals to build a solar farm on land that inspired The Hobbit.
I agree that all children should be able to access healthy food at school every day. As a member of the Education Select Committee, education is one of my top priorities and with the help of good nutrition, pupils will be ready to learn and have the chance to achieve their full potential.
I've had a lot of emails from constituents concerning pet theft, particularly in relation to cats. Our pets are companions and I fully recognise that the theft of a much-beloved pet can have a huge impact on both pets and families.
