COVID GUIDANCE: Our first phase in the war against coronavirus was to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives. Phase 2 is about adapting to a new reality - one where society can return to normal as far as possible while also continuing to protect against the spread of the disease. The Government's plan is carefully designed based on expert scientific advise.

Central to establishing good health provision is a strong network of GPs who know their patients and make sure that they manage their care. When that fails there is more burden on our hospitals. I am working across Thurrock to solve our shortage of GPs as well as ensuring our health services are as accessible as possible.

We all want to feel safe where we live. Tackling illegal encampments, car cruisers, fly tipping and other criminal and anti-social behaviour needs a local authority and local police force that is well resourced and empowered to take action.

Children across Thurrock deserve access to new schools giving parents more choice about where to send their children. I support Headteachers who show vision and leadership for their schools and make sure that our academies receive the capital funding they need.

Thurrock is the jewel in the Essex economies crown, and there is still room to grow. I work to bring external investment into Thurrock to help grow our local economy and create jobs for local people. We have already seen £200 million invested to improve the A13 and the unction 30, and £20 million for the regeneration of Purfleet and Grays.

We all want a place that we can call our own. In today's world it can be a daunting experience for young people to get onto the housing ladder. This is why we need to build more homes. I press the Government to build more new affordable homes and support first time buyers so the dream of home ownership can be a reality for the next generation.

Helping Thurrock Conservatives is fun, sociable and helps shape history. Whether it be making just 10 phone calls from your home, joining us to canvass, delivering or helping in the office, all help is gratefully received. Contact campaign@jackiedoyleprice.com to get involved.
