Giving our young people the skills they need
Huge congratulations to the young people across Aldershot and Farnborough who have received their GCSEs, BTECs, A-levels, T-levels and vocational qualification results. Every young person should be able to develop the skills they need and be given the same respect for the route they choose.

I spoke to BBC Radio Surrey about the importance of getting a new Frimley Park Hospital built, and making sure it’s in a location that works for people across Aldershot, Farnborough, Blackwater, Hawley, and Yateley East.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a new hospital for our community, and I want to ensure local people’s voices are heard.
TODAY is the deadline to complete the Trust’s questionnaire, so please take a few minutes to have your say! 🔗👇

As National Cadet Week comes to a close, I wanted to celebrate the fantastic range of cadet organisations we’re lucky to have here in Aldershot and Farnborough.
In the Home of the British Army and Birthplace of British Aviation, service and community go hand in hand, and nobody embodies that spirit better than our cadets and volunteers.
For a young person, being a cadet is so much more than an after-school activity. It’s an opportunity to gain valuable skills and qualifications, make lifelong friends and try things they never thought possible, all while being supported by volunteers who believe in them every step of the way.
So, to our cadets and the volunteers who make it all possible, thank you for everything you do for our community! 👏

Our historic lamps on Queen’s Avenue had been out for far too long.
I pushed for action, raising this with local authorities and getting UK Power Networks on site to carry out repairs.
A local win, bringing our historic streetlighting back to life.

🚨 Potters International will close as an asylum hotel by the end of this year.
Since I was elected, I’ve been working hard with Ministers to secure this closure.
The asylum hotel system wasn’t fair on anyone. It cost taxpayers huge sums, put pressure on local communities and left people seeking asylum stuck in unsuitable accommodation while they waited for decisions.
I promised to stop the Pinehurst Hillside flats in Farnborough, which the Tories had earmarked as asylum accommodation - and I did.
Now I’ve secured the closure of Potters International as an asylum hotel in Aldershot by the end of this year.
Promise made, promise kept ✅🌹 ... See MoreSee Less

🏗️ Spades are in the ground for Farnborough Pools and Leisure!
It was brilliant to visit the site and see the progress being made.
We’ve waited a long time for this, and it’s fantastic to see it becoming a reality. Soon, families will have a leisure centre in Farnborough where children can learn to swim and everyone can enjoy time together. 🏊♀️ ... See MoreSee Less

I was honoured to attend the memorial service marking the 86th anniversary of the Battle of Britain at North Camp Methodist Church, organised by the RAF Association Farnborough and Aldershot Registered Members Group.
It was especially moving to hear the Mayor of Rushmoor, Cllr Peter Cullum, speak at this year’s service as an RAF veteran himself, remembering the courage and sacrifice of those who defended our skies and our freedom.
Here in Aldershot and Farnborough, that history of service and national contribution runs deep. Farnborough grew from the pioneering work of the Royal Aircraft Establishment, while Aldershot is proudly the Home of the British Army. Service and sacrifice aren’t just part of our history – they’re something we feel in our towns every day.
It was wonderful to see so many RAF Cadets parade after the service, carrying such an important tradition forward for another generation. ... See MoreSee Less

It was so special to welcome Rushmoor Borough Council, community organisations and sponsors to Parliament this week to thank them for making National Armed Forces Day possible.
What we created together here in the Home of the British Army was truly incredible, bringing our community together to celebrate those who serve. From young people meeting cadets and personnel to veterans marching down Queen’s Avenue, it was a weekend to be hugely proud of.
Now we want to build on that legacy. Armed Forces Day was not the end, but the beginning of something we can continue to grow together.

Lovely to be at the Hawley Rooted Together Community Festival yesterday, celebrating 10 years of Hawley Community Garden!
It’s great to see this community-led that’s been looked after and brought to life by local people over 10 years - and now we have the chance to do something just as exciting in Cherrywood.
We’ve got £20 million of Pride in Place funding from the Government for Cherrywood ward - and it’s local people who decide how that’s spent.
So fill out the survey, get involved, and help shape the future of Cherrywood. 🔗👇
