I am pleased that the Government has announced a scheme to reverse some of the historic Beeching cuts. Following an RestoreYourRailway event held in Parliament that I attended, and conversations with Residents, I am keen to support this local campaign to restore East Ardsley Railway Station. 

Today I wrote to Lord Goldsmith, Minister of State for Environment and International Development at DEFRA, to ask the Government to clarify its position on the Fur Trade. Now we are out of the EU, Britain has an opportunity to act as a global leader on Animal Welfare.

I have recently met with local residents on Peel Street and Albert Road in Morley who are calling for speed cameras to try and enforce the 20 mph zone. 

As residents will know, Morley Market is being sold by its current owners. 

This has once again created stress and uncertainty for the stall holders, and for our historic market town that cannot imagine life without our market! 

Our local high streets are changing.

NOMINATIONS NOW CLOSED- CONGRATULATIONS TO TOPS FITNESS AND REHAB#

I am inviting you to nominate a local business as our Responsible Business Champion 2019.

I have written to Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, to support the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home campaign to increase the maximum custodial sentence for the most serious acts of animal cruelty to five years imprisonment.

As a passionate advocate for animal rights, I am happy to support this campaign to stop trophy imports. 

Banning trophy imports will not only send a strong message to the world, that Britain is standing up for animals, but also will help to end the barbaric practice of trophy hunting. 

60% of our local area voted to leave the European Union, and the vast majority of emails, letters, and phone calls I receive from residents tell me that Morley and Outwood wants to take back control. 

Like residents, I want to see more police on the beat in Morley and Outwood to help tackle crime, increase police visibility, and keep our communities safe.
