What I was up to in September
Part of being your MP means getting out in the community and meeting people where they are. This month has been no different. From speaking at the Vyners School Awards Evening to visiting Unity Combat Academy, it has been fantastic to meet so many people who are so passionate about our area.
It’s a real honour to get the opportunity to visit so many organisations. Do get in touch with my office if you would like to arrange a visit.
Thank you to everyone across the constituency who has supported and engaged with my work over the past month. There is still more to do and I remain as committed as ever to delivering for our community.
In and around Uxbridge and South Ruislip
Future Start Is Officially Open
After months of pushing for a Youth Employment Hub and working with local partners to make it happen, I am incredibly proud to see Future Start open its doors and begin helping young people across Hillingdon find work and opportunities. Tackling youth unemployment has to be a priority.
Hillingdon Housing Summit
I brought together housing developers, social housing providers and partners for a housing summit here in Hillingdon. Hillingdon needs more homes, and I want to make sure we are doing everything we can to bring the right sites forward.
Save Hillingdon's Independent Businesses
I have written to Cllr Tuckwell, Leader of Hillingdon Council, after hearing from independent businesses across the borough about rent increases of up to 120% from Hillingdon Council, their landlord.
I have asked the Council to explain how it will address these concerns and whether it will introduce a clear rents policy that better supports independent businesses. I also raised its treatment of local businesses in Parliament.

Calling Out Unfair Monthly Insurance Costs
Motorists are already squeezed at the pumps and now they are being hit with unfair monthly insurance charges too. Research from Which? found that people paying monthly are landed with hundreds of pounds in extra costs, often because it is the only way they can afford cover. I raised this with the Minister and asked for action on unfair and unjustified monthly insurance charges.
Heathrow Expansion
There are still major questions around transport, infrastructure, environmental impact and whether the economic benefits justify the full costs of expansion.
Most importantly, the people who live closest to Heathrow must have their voices heard.

Raising Fireworks Concerns
Fireworks continue to be an issue for residents across Uxbridge and South Ruislip, particularly late-night noise and anti-social behaviour. I raised this directly with the Minister responsible for fireworks, who wants to hear residents’ experiences.
If you have been affected, have your say in the Government’s fireworks consultation before 7 October: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/fireworks-and-pyrotechnics-in-the-uk/fireworks-and-pyrotechnics-in-the-uk?
