It is amazing to have a campaign win and this month I am really excited to share an update on a big win for the Woodchurch which will benefit our whole area.
Remembrance
It was a privilege to lay a poppy on behalf of Wirral West in the House of Commons remembrance garden. Wirral West proudly has many remembrance services and since being elected last year I’ve been honoured to attend Thornton Hough, Hoylake and District remembrance in Newton and laying a wreath at Bebington and Heswall.
Education
I am on a mission to visit all schools across our area. I am keen to support the schools to deliver the best education and hear from teachers first hand – as well as what the children want to see in our local area, and their dreams.
The next school I’ll be visiting is Brookhurst primary.
I am proud, this Government has:
- Launched a curriculum and assessment review.
- Kickstarted the rollout of free breakfast clubs for all primary school children
- Rolled out 30 hours free childcare
£20million announced for the Woodchurch estate
I am pleased to have fought and secured £2million a year for 10 years, for the Woodchurch estate.
After 14 years of the Tory government discarding areas like the Woodchurch, the Labour Government has announced £20million for the estate.
Since Labour won the election, we have announced £1.6billion for the Liverpool City Region which includes funding for the new Woodchurch train station. This further £20million shows Labour’s commitment to our area.
A neighbourhood board will be established with local residents to help decide what this money should be spent on. The best people to decide how to spend it, is the Woodchurch residents. This can be spent on anything from local park improvements to fixing up empty buildings. If you are a Woodchurch resident, please keep an eye out for future updates and communications from me and the council.
RNLI Hoylake visit
As we draw closer to the end of the year, I want to reflect on my visit to the RNLI.
The RNLI is a huge part of the Wirral community, so it was a real privilege to be able to visit the Hoylake station. I was thrilled to meet staff and volunteers to hear about their lifesaving work, and to be able to celebrate the centuries-long history of service they’re a part of.
Surgeries
I hold a weekly surgery, usually these are held in my Hoylake Office, but I have held them across the constituency to be as accessible as possible, including Greasby, Pensby, West Kirby, Thornton Hough, Heswall, Woodchurch and Irby
