What I was up to in April
As we move into another month, I want to update you on the work my team and I have been doing across Uxbridge and South Ruislip.
From attending community coffee mornings, to speaking to students at Oak Wood School, this month has been a busy one. I am always so impressed by the enthusiasm of people in Uxbridge and South Ruislip for making their communities better.
It’s a real honour to get the opportunity to visit so many organisations locally, from charities to sports clubs. Do get in touch with my office if you would like to arrange a visit to your organisation.
In and around Uxbridge and South Ruislip
Phone free schools
I visited Uxbridge High School with school leaders from across West London to see how their fully phone-free approach is working in practice. Since September 2025, the school has used pouches, locking pupils' phones on arrival and unlocking them at the end of the day.

Town centre drop-in
I hosted a drop-in session in Uxbridge where residents had the opportunity to speak directly with me, the local policing team, Neighbourhood Watch and the Love Uxbridge Business Improvement District about crime and anti-social behaviour in the town centre.
Residents shared their experiences openly and discussed the impact that crime and anti-social behaviour are having on their daily lives.
The full report from that session is now live on my website. It covers what residents want to see in the town centre, how it can be made to feel safer, the key areas of concern that were raised and the next steps we are taking.

In Parliament
Youth Services and the Mayor’s Investment
The Mayor of London is investing £30 million to restore youth clubs across all 32 London boroughs, including here in Hillingdon. After years of cuts to youth services by Hillingdon Council, this is exactly what young people need. We now need to go further and re-open our youth centres in Uxbridge and South Ruislip.
Working together to end animal cruelty
I met with TikTok in Parliament to discuss animal abuse, in particular content on their platform of catapults being used to terrorise swans.
TikTok confirmed that animal‑abuse content is already banned on the platform, but a lot of the material being flagged has been in the form of still images, which their automated systems don’t always catch. They recognised this as an area that needs strengthening.
Calling for Student Finance Reform
The student loans system is not progressive or fair. I wrote to the Chancellor to set out my concerns and to make the case for meaningful reform.
Those on Plan 2 are effectively subject to a graduate tax and that needs to change. I also spoke in Parliament, making clear that the Conservatives cannot escape responsibility for creating this failing system.
