I hope everyone across Aldershot and Farnborough has had a wonderful Good Friday so far.
Today is a moment to reflect on sacrifice and strength, and on the quiet resilience that carries us through difficult times. These are values that feel especially important in the world we are living in today.
In a community like ours, the Home of the British Army, we are reminded every day of the meaning of service and sacrifice. It is something we see not just in uniform, but in the way we look out for one another.
However you are marking today, whether in faith, with family, or in a moment of quiet reflection, I hope it brings you a sense of peace. ... See MoreSee Less

A resident in St. Mark’s reached out after struggling to get their Warm Home Discount, and after some pushing, we got them the £150 they were owed!

Another big month in Aldershot and Farnborough, with some major wins for our community!
From marking 100 days until we host National Armed Forces Day, to securing £20 million of investment for Cherrywood and meeting directly with residents across Rushmoor, it’s been a busy month with lots of progress made for our towns.
Lots done, and lots more to look forward to in the months ahead 💚 ... See MoreSee Less

Meet Nicky Slater, our fantastic Labour candidate for Empress Ward.
Having lived here for nearly 30 years and taught in local schools, she knows first-hand just how incredible our community is.
But she has also seen the challenges we have faced in recent years, with our leisure centre demolished and the council pushed to the brink, leaving little investment in the places that matter most.
On the doorstep, residents tell us they want thriving town centres, cleaner streets and a place they can feel proud of. That is exactly what we are working to deliver.
With real investment, plans to revitalise our town centres, and Armed Forces Day putting Aldershot back on the national stage, Rushmoor is moving in the right direction.
So if you want to keep Rushmoor on track, vote Labour, vote Nicky Slater in May.

The government has today announced the creation of a North Hampshire Strategic Authority, merging Rushmoor, Hart, and Basingstoke & Deane as part of their devolution program. But what does that actually mean for us in Rushmoor?
Right now, 85% of our services are delivered by Hampshire County Council in Winchester, with Rushmoor delivering just 15%. Too often, residents don’t know who to turn to, while decisions affecting our area are made far from home.
Today’s announcement would change that, streamlining services under one body, bringing decisions closer to where they matter.
Local elections are still taking place this May, where you'll be voting for your Rushmoor Borough and Hampshire County Councillors, and next year, we’ll vote on this new authority. I will keep pushing for a system that makes local services simpler and more effective for our community in Rushmoor. ... See MoreSee Less

Farnborough Leisure Centre 2027 🏊♀️
Planning permission secured, funding in place, and construction starting this summer.
After families were left waiting for years under the previous Conservative council, we’re getting on with the job and delivering the down payment on the leisure facilities our community deserves.
A clear of example of what we can achieve when working together for Aldershot and Farnborough.

I had a lovely time joining the Rushmoor Binfluencers in Cherrywood over the weekend for the Great British Spring Clean 🌳🗑️
An incredible group of residents, who have been out almost daily in recent weeks, getting across all 13 wards in Rushmoor. They’re not just clearing up litter, but building pride and a shared sense of responsibility for our community.
But we shouldn’t need volunteers to step in between scheduled clean-ups in the first place. That’s why I welcome both the Government’s tougher action on fly-tipping – with fines, penalty points, and offenders made to clean up their own mess – alongside the steps our Labour Council are taking locally by introducing tough fines for fly-tipping.
A huge thank you to the Binfluencers for all that you do. Let’s keep working together to clean up our streets💚

Congratulations to the coaches, players and volunteers at Camberley & Farnborough Hockey Club for your successful #Flyerz Day. Thank you for inviting me to come along and hear how you are giving young people with SEND needs the chance to enjoy inclusive hockey. You should be so proud of all the fun and smiles you have given to the children taking part. 🏑 💙
I’m sure the #FlyersHockey programme will continue to go from strength-to-strength. I’ll continue to champion accessible sport and all our great local sports clubs. 🥅
