I've been working with Humberside Fire Authority, Hull University and North Lincs Council since my election, on a plan for a national flood resilience centre 'The Ark' to be built in Scunthorpe.
Today the Prime Minister announced his decision to green-light HS2, alongside his plans for further rail networks in the North through “Northern Powerhouse Rail”, and the allocation of an extra £5 billion to improve busses and cycling lanes nationally.
Today I was ‘sworn in’ as the Member of Parliament for the Scunthorpe County Constituency. There’s lots to get to grips with in Westminster, not least finding my way around and understanding the rules and procedures that must be followed so that I can do my very best for our area.
