🚌 159 Hinckley to Coalville Bus Service Update 🚌
As part of my commitment to continue battling for better buses to connect North West Leicestershire, I am pleased to say that I have recently received an update from Leicestershire County Council that the previous 159 route from Hinckley to Coalville has now been put out to tender.
This means that a return of this service is currently being considered, which is fantastic news following the cut to this route 3 years ago, which I know impacted many learners studying at college, people getting to work, those getting to key appointments and to access local amenities. Once I have further news on the progress of this, I will of course, share this with you.
I will continue to push for our fair share of the additional £8 million uplift in funding that has been provided to Leicestershire County Council by this government and listening to your feedback about our bus services locally. ... See MoreSee Less

This is a huge moment for healthcare in North West Leicestershire. Our communities have long needed a more accessible and joined-up NHS, and this plan will deliver exactly that. With services on people’s doorsteps, residents might not need to travel to Leicester, Derby or Nottingham for vital care in the future. This is about putting patients first.
We’re lucky that locally we have a fantastic set of GP practices and the GP Federation, who are all working together to provide better patient care and trial innovative ways of working. We must support them with a modern, forward-looking healthcare system which builds on their work.

Great to visit Roberts Travel Group recently, a brilliant local business at the heart of our community transport network. From school runs to coach trips and commercial bus services, their work highlights just how important reliable, affordable, and accessible transport is for people across North West Leicestershire. It was also fantastic to see their investments in new technology and a brand new departures space for their customers!
That’s also why I’m proud to serve on the Buses Bill Committee in Parliament right now. This is a real opportunity to push for improvements to our bus routes, giving Leicestershire County Council more powers to improve our services, especially in rural and semi-rural areas like ours. We need more reliable routes, better evening and weekend services, and a fairer deal for passengers.

I’ll keep battling for better buses and our fair share of the £8 million uplift in funding we have provided to Leicestershire County Council. Nobody should be cut off from opportunity just because of where they live. 🚌 ... See MoreSee Less

Today marks 97 years since women won the right to vote on equal terms with men, a milestone in our democracy and a testament to the tireless efforts of the suffragettes and campaigners who came before us.
I proudly wore my personalised sash, beautifully crafted by Re:make Newport, in front of the statue of Lord Falkland, the very spot where suffragette Margery Hume chained herself in 1909. The legacy of her bravery can still be seen today in the broken spur on the statue, which has been left as it is to remember the fight of the suffragettes.
Her courageous act, and the sacrifices of so many others, helped secure the rights we often take for granted today.
As the 624th woman elected to Parliament, I carry their legacy with me every day. There's still work to do, but today, we remember how far we've come. 💜💚🤍

Having met with local dads earlier this year at Ashby Ivanhoe FC to understand more about their lived experiences of being a parent, I’m really pleased that we are now undertaking a broad review of the whole Parental Leave system.
Many told me they would love to spend more time at home during those first few months, being around for more of those early milestones. As a parent myself, I understand how precious that time is and how quickly it passes.
