When I took my office I swore to do all I can to not only protect, but to promote our world-class British Steel. Since being elected I have had many, many meetings with Business Ministers to keep British Steel at the top of their agenda.

I was born in Scunthorpe General Hospital, and so was my daughter. I am not happy with it's current state and I will be doing what I can to secure an "upgrade" for Scunthorpe Hospital. 

We've been talking about making the part of the A15 that connects us into Lincoln into a dual carriageway for way too long.

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.

AS your MP I am always keen to support local businesses and community groups. One of my priorities over the next five years is to build up our local area and high street, and by doing so bring more opportunities for our residents, especially our young people.
