I wanted to provide an update regarding  the opposition day motion on Wednesday 12th June.

This is a copy of my May 2019 community email. You can sign up to receive this on the frontpage of my website. 

I have been sent the following information about gas works on Melrose Avenue, starting today, 13th May, and lasting for three weeks.

Ever since the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan made his decision to close Wimbledon Police Station, Conservative councillors and I, alongside the community, have been fighting this decision. The plan was to move all policing, including emergency response units, to Mitcham Police Station.

Labour-run Merton Council want to hike fees for parking permits across Merton. In most of Wimbledon and Raynes Park this means that the price you pay will DOUBLE!

I was very disappointed to learn that Raynes Park and Motspur Park stations were not chosen to receive accessibility funding from the Department for Transport.

Tonight’s Indicative Votes

Once again, the House of Commons had the chance to vote on a series of options relating to Brexit. Below is a summary of how I voted.

I voted for the following options.

Common Market 2.0

Thank you to everyone who has written in with their views on today’s indicative votes. These are momentous times and if there is one positive it is that so many people are engaged with democracy and the political process right now.

Yesterday the House of Commons voted to take control of tomorrow's Parliamentary business to pave the way for “indicative votes”, which will allow MPs to choose between various options.

This will be a decisive week in Westminster and things will move incredibly quickly. I am very well aware of the number of signatures on the “Revoke Article 50” petition, which reflects the fact Wimbledon voted 71% to remain.
