Thank you so much to the residents of Reigate, Redhill, Banstead and our villages for putting your faith in me. It is the greatest honour of my life to be your MP and I will work tirelessly for our wonderful home and for you.
I am currently in the process of getting my constituency office set up and employing staff so please bear with me as I do this. We should be up and running very soon!

At the High Court today for Surrey County Council’s challenge of The Mayor of London and TfL’s decision to expand the ULEZ to Greater London. Surrey says NO!
As someone who is passionate about our roads, the recent spate of potholes has prompted me to write to the Secretary of State for Transport to reiterate the importance of fairer road funding for high traffic volume networks. I’ll let you know when I hear back!
Delighted that Surrey County Council, along with 4 other Councils, is challenging the Mayor of London’s decision to expand the Ulez zone

🥇 We’ll all be cheering you on, Holly!
@IChooseFreedom_
a fantastic new name for a fantastic charity. So wonderful to mark the occasion with
@C_Kneer
and her team. You are all an inspiration!
Deeply disappointing result. Huge damage will be done to the lives of residents and businesses near the Greater London border when ULEZ expansion goes live at the end of August.
Thank you
@andrealeadsom
for meeting with me yesterday to discuss the importance of family hubs and how they can help support babies, children and families at the right time. It’s given me lots of food for thought for Surrey. 👨👧👶👩🍼
Great to visit

this evening to see their Santa Stork project in action. They have been using donations to purchase Christmas gifts for children and families that wouldn’t otherwise receive anything. What an amazing charity!

This Conservative Government used the last bit of parliamentary time they had in this term to protect children. I’m proud to be a Conservative. Thank you

Today I have taken bold action to protect children following the Cass Review, using emergency powers to ban puberty blockers for new treatments of gender dysphoria from private clinics and for all purposes from overseas prescribers into Great Britain.
It was great to mark

These improvements to St Helier and Epsom Hospitals are much needed and can not be delayed. Local residents deserve better.
I am still waiting to hear back from
@wesstreeting
on whether he will be supporting these important projects.
Two MPs have called for a hospital rebuilding project in Surrey to go ahead after the government announced a review of its 40 new hospitals plan.

Attended an inspiring and thoughtful summit yesterday on reducing permanent school exclusions in Surrey, led by The High Sheriff of Surrey. Managed to catch up with the Deputy PCC too!

From our Chairman:

We totally disagree with Crispin’s statement and it does not represent the views of our members or our association.

Nork ward in Reigate was the first place I stood for election five years ago.
It might not have been winnable, but I gave it my all, and it opened up so many doors for me later in politics.

Met Surrey County Council’s new Community Link Officer for Reigate & Banstead today. Lovely to meet you Stuart and looking forward to working with you.
We celebrate two years of period dignity across Surrey County council. It’s been a phenomenal success with a sustainable campaign and wonderful community engagement. Here’s to a world where all women have menstrual dignity!

The process for the Small Projects Fund will be simple – just like the current members community allocation – for grants between £1k and £50k.
So get thinking, what things would improve your local area?

That's a wrap on Santa Stork 2023. Time to hang up our Santa hats until next year. It's been an incredible campaign, made possible by our amazing community. Our biggest Santa Stork yet, with 6,308 children in Surrey receiving presents. Thank you all!
Thank you to
@Hilary_Cass
for her diligent and evidence based approach to reviewing and improving NHS gender identity services for children and young people. Her findings make stark reading. I hope her report signals the start of the end of this horrific medical scandal.
The Cass Review into children and gender identity says young people have been 'let down' by the NHS and says it's mainly birth-registered girls seeking treatment.
