Frimley Park Hospital update The recently-announced planned hospital site is not perfect. And the report published today outlines some of the challenges of site selection. I recommend anyone with an interest in the new hospital reads the report.

🏘️Planning! 🚨Today I told the minister exactly what I think of Labour's planning policy and I'm not backing down. 📝❌By making local plans effectively redundant, this Government has left Basingstoke & Deane and Hart wide open to inappropriate speculative development with no infrastructure.

Bringing real-world experience to Parliament.🏛️ Before being elected, I worked with young people with Down syndrome. What struck me most was their talent, their humour, and how much they want to work. What I also saw were the barriers standing in their way, and how huge those barriers can be.

Ann was a dedicated public servant and I was pleased to see fitting tributes from our major parties in Parliament today.

✍️ Sign the petition to rebuild Basingstoke hospital. ✅ Today I raised Basingstoke Hospital yet again in the House of Commons. The land has been secured yet we're being told to wait until 2046 for the doors to open. In the meantime, the old hospital is costing more and more each year in repairs.

⚠️ Local update: The A30 in Blackwater is shut in both directions while fire crews continue damping down a heathland fire. A large number of engines are in attendance. Please avoid the area and find an alternative route.

Another week working hard for North East Hampshire. 🔶 This week's highlights: 🩺 Visited Whitewater GP practice to discuss changes to the way GP services are delivered and ensuring nobody is left behind in the move to adopt new technology.

💧 It's time to hold water companies to account 🚰South East Water supplies fresh water to most of our area. It has failed to deliver a pipeline that would help secure our water supply and reduce the need to take water from local chalk aquifers.

What a stunt! Farage's by-election is clearly a publicity stunt designed to distract from an investigation into his funding and vast financial gifts. What's worse, the tax-payer is picking up the bill.

Tune in to ITV Meridian tonight📺 Tonight catch me with @kitbradshaw.bsky.social on The Last Word, straight after the News at Ten, talking about the political issues facing our country right now.

Yesterday I got a sneak peek of the new Offgrid Energy Labs in Hook, celebrating the opening of their new factory and UK HQ right here in North East Hampshire⚡

Asking your questions and holding Government to account. I promised to be a hard-working, local MP for North East Hampshire.

Celebrating two years as your MP 🧡 Two years ago, you put your trust in me to represent our local community. I promised to be a hard-working, visible, local MP and it has been an honour to work hard every day since, in the hope of meeting your expectations.

With businesses closing on our high streets, it's vital that we explore all options to support them. Fleet has lost all its banks, many small businesses and cafes. And the area's most extensive high street is also about to lose M&S, Morrisons Local, Scoop and the Post Office 📮.

Westminster Hall debate 🗣️ Calling on the Minister to urgently change early years funding 👶 Early years is the best investment our country can make to secure a child's future. But I’ve heard from so many people that the sector is being pushed to the brink.

🏪 I spoke in a debate today about overhauling the business rates system to support our small high street businesses. Our high streets are the backbone of local communities but they're being held back by a business rates system that does not work. Many are closing altogether.

🏛️ It’s been a busy day in Westminster. Here are my initial thoughts on some of today’s big issues: 📋 Maternity care 🛡️ The Defence Investment Plan 🏪 Supporting businesses on our local high streets #Westminster #MaternityCare #AmosReview #Defence #HighStreets #LocalBusiness #mp #northeasthampshire

📍 An eventful week in Westminster: As the revolving door of number 10 goes around again, people are tired of chaotic changes in leadership that deliver nothing for local people.

📢 Hartley Wintney Fire Station is calling on locals 🚒 Hartley Wintney Fire Station urgently needs volunteers to ensure it can keep its doors open. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a team that works tirelessly to keep local communities safe through prevention, education and support.

As many of you may know, the Post Office has announced it is closing along with the local Morrisons on Fleet High Street. This is particularly concerning given the bank closures over the recent years, all of which cited the Post Office as a resource for local people to conduct banking.

I will continue to work with stakeholders across both the government and the NHS to advocate strongly for a future-proofed transport network into and out of the new hospital site. #mp #healthcare #northeasthampshire #frimleyparkhospital

Kids on social media is the topic I've had the highest number of emails about, with no exceptions. And as a busy parent, I understand all the challenges around managing screen time and permissions. I understand the risks and the dangers of unmonitored time online and powerful algorithms.

🎪 And what a way to end the week, soaking up the sunshine at the Hartley Wintney Festival and the Sherfield on Loddon Fete. So lovely to see so many familiar faces!

Today in the House of Commons I spoke in the Railways Bill, making the case for reliable WiFi and connectivity on trains. Thousands of residents from North East Hampshire commute to London every day. When trains are delayed (which is far too often), we need to be able to work.

Busy doesn't even cover it this week! Here's the round-up 👇 In Parliament, I spoke in three debates: 🏥 The Health Bill ⚔️ The Armed Forces Bill 🚌 Home to School Transport (Westminster Hall) Also in Westminster: 💐Championed fair hospice funding 📱 Attended a roundtable on mobile connectivity

This afternoon, I visited Fleet & Aldershot Talking Newspaper (FATN) - an incredible local charity supporting residents for nearly 60 years. 👉 Find out more: www.fatntalkingnews.org.uk.

Proud to speak up for our veterans in Parliament 🏛️ This week I supported New Clause 12, a Lib Dem amendment to the Armed Forces Bill, to create a dedicated Veterans' Mental Health Oversight Officer in law.

M&S Food in Fleet is closing This morning I wrote to @marksandspencer 's Corporate Affairs Director to express my concerns and disappointment about the closure of Fleet's M&S Food store, and its impact on our high street, our businesses, and our residents.

It’s volunteering week, so perfect timing that yesterday I had the honour of being present when His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire presented Aerobility with the King's Award for Voluntary Service.

Yesterday I spoke in the Health Bill debate to raise serious concerns about the proposed abolition of Healthwatch.
