Andrea and BusinessAndrea was brought up with an entrepreneurial background. Her Dad was a lorry driver who went on to set up his own transport company. Having also being self-employed herself, Andrea understands both the joys and challenges that businesses face.  

In my role as Member of Parliament, I try not only to campaign to improve our local area but also bring attention to charities and local community groups that do great work to support our area, and people in need. 

Education is and always will be a priority of mine. We have some excellent schools, and I want to ensure that every child leaves school and is ready to succeed.

As many of you may know, I am a passionate animal rights advocate and am always looking for new ways to support the protection of animals and their welfare. As an animal lover, I have long been a vegetarian and supporter of animal rights.

Protecting citizens should always be the priority of the Government. I will continue to fight for more funds and investment in policing into our area, and I will keep fighting for support businesses need when they are victims of crime. 

I welcome the Government's work on mental health, including more funding to help those in need, appointing a Minister for Suicide Prevention, and raising awareness. Locally, I am committed to helping residents with mental health issues access help easily. 

I am committed to standing up for the referendum result.
