I work closely with residents’ associations, organisations, charities and constituents on a range of projects and campaigns in the constituency. Below I have highlighted just a few examples to give you an idea of some of my interests and priorities.
Campaigning to save our local NHS services and for more resources – for further information please click here.
Post Office closures – fighting to protect access to vital services for local people in Burgess Hill, East Grinstead and Haywards Heath and across the rural areas.
Protecting our green fields – I have vigorously fought against the endless Government proposals to build on greenfield sites and open areas throughout Mid Sussex.
For information on the EAST GRINSTEAD AREA ACTION PLAN refer to the Hot Topics section
Campaigning to secure a better infrastructure to cope with the development imposed on Mid Sussex by the Government and to highlight the impact of the Government’s policy on “sustainable development” on the region’s water supply.

Fighting to safeguard the future of British Farming
Campaigning for additional phone mast controls in sensitive areas.
Supporting local residents in securing road safety improvements for example in Burrell Road, Haywards Heath.
Campaigning to reduce speeding and supporting the Speedwatch scheme.
Campaigning to improve diabetic care in Mid Sussex.
Supporting the campaign for Group B Streptococcus screening
Burgess Hill and East Grinstead Business Parks Associations – working closely with the appointed co-ordinators to represent the views of local businessmen and women.
Campaigning against the Government's legal aid proposals - working with local solicitors to press the Government to reconsider its proposals to ensure that the system provides good quality legal services, value for money and fair access to justice.
Funding support and advice for local bodies such as the YMCA and the Ashenground Community Centre Trust in Haywards Heath.
Waste Plan – I have worked closely with the Freshfield Action Group (FAG) and West Sussex County Council to highlight the unsuitability of the Freshfield site in Horsted Keynes for landfill disposal.
I am delighted that after a six year long campaign the Planning Inspectorate dismissed Cory Environmental and Freshfield Lane Brickworks’ appeal.
