"No child, no parent, no carer, nobody in Newcastle-under-Lyme or anywhere else in England should be at risk of injury, serious injury or indeed death when on the journey to school in the morning or from school" I introduced my Road Safety Plans Bill to Parliament on Tuesday. The Bill would require local authorities with responsibility for road infrastructure, like Staffordshire County Council, to prepare and publish road safety plans tailored for every school within their ar

My Personally Speaking column in The Sentinel (27 August 2026) We all deserve to live in communities that are safe, secure and clean – with access to good and reliable services, shops you want to visit and a thriving local high street, as well as a chance to embrace the arts, culture and all other opportunities to socialise. In Newcastle-under-Lyme, we know more than enough about the need for our communities to be clean, and the terrible impact that waste crime and fly-tippi

I have written to Staffordshire's Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner Ben Adams, seeking urgent clarity following reports that he is considering the sale of Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service Headquarters, together with the outsourcing of the Service's Training, Learning and Development function. The recent fires we have seen in our region and across Staffordshire, have been a stark reminder of just how much our communities rely on a fully resourced, well-trained and properl

My Personally Speaking column in The Sentinel (3 August 2026) Parliament is in recess and so I get to spend even more time back home in Newcastle-under-Lyme. As it does each year, Recess gives me the opportunity to visit local businesses, meet with community groups and, most importantly, speak to more residents about the issues that matter to you. It also comes at an important moment nationally – with a new Prime Minister and a new chapter beginning for our country. It’s a c

I have campaigned hard on road safety right across Newcastle-under-Lyme and I'll be bringing my Road Safety Bill to Parliament on the first day back after recess. Although being our MP means I don’t have operational powers, I have the power of my voice, and yours too, and I won’t stop speaking out and demanding a final resolution to this major safety issue for residents and commuters alike. In recent months, I have continued to hold Staffordshire County Council and National H

Today I responded in Parliament to the announcement of the proposals for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) in Staffordshire Before today's announcement, I had already made clear – in every meeting with Ministers and every debate in Parliament – that the voices of the people of Newcastle-under-Lyme must be heard and respected in decisions that affect our community. The proposals put forward today on Local Government Reorganisation are completely unacceptable. They do nothi

Education Minister Olivia Bailey MP and DWP Minister Andrew Western MP both came to Newcastle-under-Lyme on Thursday (2 July 2026) On Thursday, we had two ministerial visits in one day here in Newcastle-under-Lyme. In the morning, I welcomed Olivia Bailey MP, Minister for Early Education, to the Best Start Family Hub in Knutton, where we heard from those on the ground delivering vital early intervention support, as we revive the legacy of Sure Start for local families.
