A mum in Stockbridge Village contacted me after her housing provider refused to install safety gates outside her home, despite concerns for her son's safety who has complex needs.
I took up her case, and the provider agreed to install gates and fencing outside the property. ❤️

Labour is changing the railcard rules so 18-year-olds can get half-price train tickets.
With £2 fares and kids going free on buses this summer, we are providing families with the little bit of breathing space needed.

I've lost count of the number of conversations I've had about the cost of getting around.
For many people, the bus is how they get to work, college, appointments and see family. It shouldn't cost a fortune.
So I'm made up that bus fares in England will be capped at £2 in 2027.
