To all the residents of Melksham and Devizes constituency, including Bradford on Avon and all our villages,
It is a tremendous privilege to have been elected to serve as your Member of Parliament.
I thank all of you who supported me during the election campaign, and whether you voted for me or not, as your MP I am here to work for each and every one of you. My ambition is on behalf of our whole area, to do all within my power to strengthen our communities, be an advocate for those in need, press for better public services and work to protect our environment.
With over 70 new Liberal Democrat MPs, including this one, Lib Dems are going to start making a difference to the way this country is governed. We will be holding the Labour Government to account over its promises in parliament and introducing Liberal Democrat ideas through debates and the committee system.
It is time to back our coastal and rural schools with the funding, teachers, and protections they need to stay at the center of community life.
Liberal Democrats believe that no child should ever die because of where they live. Our members have passed a new policy to end this tragedy and guarantee safe, decent housing for every family.
