I have been campaigning for Grove Station to be re-opened since I was first elected. There is strong local support for this, as shown when I carried out a survey which showed 98% of local people were in favour!
I was proud to host a reception at Number 10 Downing Street to celebrate the great work of childcare providers across the country and was pleased to take Julie, a local childminder who also fostered families for 14 years, as my guest.
