Supporting our Armed Forces and their families in times of crisis
There is a sizeable number of civilians and service families with local connections in the Middle East or with loved ones there. They are facing an incredibly challenging and dangerous time and I have been working very hard with my Parliamentary colleagues to make sure everyone is safe.

Sink holes, potholes and gaps in accountability
Residents are rightly asking when lasting repairs to our roads will be delivered. I have met the Conservative-run County Council to press for clear timelines, transparent communication and a firm plan for permanent repairs, particularly in areas residents have repeatedly flagged with me.

Planning application approved for the new Farnborough Leisure Centre 🚨🏊
I know how devasted families were when the previous Conservative Council ripped out the old leisure centre without a viable plan to replace it - leaving a gaping hole in our town centre.
So, I worked very hard to unlock £20 million in funding, which has allowed Rushmoor Council’s plans for a fantastic new leisure centre move forward, with work set to begin this summer and completion scheduled for late 2027.
It follows the Council's appointment of Everyone Active as the new leisure operator, overseeing the new leisure centre and existing facilities like Aldershot Lido, Pools, and the Alpine Snowsports Centre - ensuring both towns finally get the top-tier leisure facilities they deserve.
So, I’m delighted, that working alongside this Government and Labour Council, we’re finally able to deliver the leisure facilities families have been waiting for, putting Rushmoor back on track.

Wonderful to join the Greater Rushmoor Nepali Community and Rushmoor Borough Council for their International Women’s Day celebration over the weekend.
It was special to see so many inspiring women from across our community together in one room. From the generations of Gurkha wives who kept families strong while their loved ones served, to community leaders today like GRNC President Lila Seling Mabo, their contribution to Rushmoor is extraordinary.
It was also great to see community organisations brought together, including the Thriving Community Project and Amani Women’s Organisation, sharing the work they are doing in Rushmoor and beyond.
Thank you for such a warm welcome and for everything you do for our community💐 ... See MoreSee Less

More reliable trains for Farnborough Main because of action I’ve taken with Southwestern Railways (SWR)🚆🚨
Following my discussions with SWR, they’ve changed their approach to train delays, identifying key morning fast trains that will prioritise stopping at Farnborough even during delays. These services include the 0759, 0831, 0932 and 1030 weekday departures from Farnborough Main.
As a local commuter, I know how frustrating it is when services are distrupted and trains don’t stop at our station. So this is a huge win for our community, putting service reliability for commuters first!
There’s still more to do, and I’ll keep working with SWR and pushing for better train services for Farnborough. ... See MoreSee Less

I was honoured to serve lunch to the amazing volunteers at Farnborough Foodbank today, celebrating the people who give their time to support people across Aldershot and Farnborough 💚
Led by Ruth Masih, Farnborough Foodbank has been a lifeline for many in our community, and some of the volunteers I met have been supporting the foodbank since 2008! Their commitment and compassion are truly inspiring.
While none of us want families to have to rely on foodbanks, I’m deeply grateful for the volunteers who step up and help others when they need it most.
Farnborough Foodbank are still looking for a permanent home, their ideal space would include:
• Ground floor warehouse space (around 2,500 sq ft)
• Parking for around 10 cars
• Office space for three desks
• Good access for deliveries
• Located within Aldershot or Farnborough
👉 If you know of a suitable space please get in touch with the team at: [email protected] ... See MoreSee Less

Out doorknocking today with a fantastic team of Labour women councillors and candidates, and it felt like the perfect way to mark International Women’s Day.
These are inspiring women who are stepping forward to serve our community — listening to residents on the doorstep, standing up for their neighbours, and putting themselves forward to represent the places they care about.
As the first woman ever elected to represent Aldershot and Farnborough in Parliament, I know how important representation is. Progress happens because people step forward and say they want to serve their community.
Community leadership often starts exactly like this: with people willing to give their time, knock on doors, have conversations and work together to make our towns better.
I’m proud to work alongside so many dedicated women who are helping shape the future of Aldershot and Farnborough.
Happy International Women’s Day to all the women who serve our communities every day. 🌸

Kemi Badenoch’s comments suggesting that brave RAF pilots working tirelessly to protect British lives are “just hanging around” are utterly disgraceful.
Here in the Home of the British Army, we pay tribute to the unwavering dedication of the brave men and women who serve our country every day. Armed Forces families from our own community are being protected right now in Cyprus thanks to their service.
The Conservative Leader should be rising to this serious moment, not stooping to baseless political attacks that insult our Armed Forces. I hope she will apologise. ... See MoreSee Less
Our Armed Forces keep us safe at home and abroad. Yet Kemi Badenoch says our brave RAF pilots are just "hanging around". She must apologise.

Following the publication of the SEND White Paper, today I hosted a roundtable with Calvin Bailey MBE MP and Education Minister Georgia Gould, focusing on the unique challenges Service families face when it comes to provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
We were joined by the Family Federations for the RAF, Royal Navy and Army, and service charities including SSAFA and RBL. We tackled issues like the disruption caused by frequent relocations and the difficulty in transferring support plans between local authorities.
We’re determined to ensure no child is left behind and that military families get the consistent support they deserve, no matter where they are stationed. ... See MoreSee Less

As the situation in Iran escalates, my thoughts are with everyone who is affected. I am also thinking of our serving personnel across the region and Armed Forces families in Cyprus, including some from our own community in Aldershot.
During the Prime Minister’s statement yesterday, I stressed the importance of clear communication and reassurance from the Ministry of Defence for those families living with fear, and of ensuring we are prepared to face these growing threats.
As the Home of the British Army, we feel these moments deeply. We stand in solidarity with all those affected, and with the families who serve our country with such courage and resilience. ... See MoreSee Less
