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. In the

My Personally Speaking column in The Sentinel (2 July 2026) One of the best things about being our MP is the chance to sit down with a cuppa and a slice of cake and hear from local people about what’s on their minds. That’s exactly what I did last Fri­day, when I held my latest cof­fee morn­ing at Aud­ley Cricket Club. Thank you to every­one who joined me and thank you to every­one who helped make it hap­pen – includ­ing those who baked a cake! Much bet­ter bakers than me… As

I took a file with your views on Local Government Reorganisation to The Office of The Prime Minister Last Thursday, I went to Downing Street to present a collection of your responses to my survey on Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) and all the correspondence I've received from constituents about LGR. The voices, needs, and concerns of the people of Newcastle-under-Lyme must be heard loudly and clearly – with me as our MP, they will be. I urge my colleagues to listen. I w

I presented a petition in the House of Commons calling for the removal of Site Allocation AB2 from Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council's Local Plan. Last night, on a very hot day down in Parliament, I presented a petition to the House of Commons calling for site allocation AB2, up in Audley, to be scrapped from the Council's Local Plan. The petition was backed by more than 800 signatures from local residents and it’s important that residents are heard loudly and clearly. AB2
