Improving Health Services
Basildon hospital is improving, now let's improve our GPs. Central to establishing good health provision is a strong network of GPs who know their patients and make sure that they manage their care.
We also will make services easier to access for everyone by building FOUR new buildings across Thurrock to offer key services on your doorstep and not in a far-away central hub.
Enforcement of the Law
We all want to feel safe where we live.
I welcome the additional police officers for Essex Police and am championing the Government's commitment to empower the police and local councils to fight against crime, anti-social behavior car cruisers, fly-tipping and illegal encampments.
Thurrock deserves a 21st Century Police Force ready to protect our law-abiding residents.
Creating New Schools and New School Places
I have championed successful campaigns for new free schools in Tilbury, Chafford & West Thurrock.
I will continue to support Headteachers who show vision and leadership for their schools and make sure that our academies receive the capital they need to give the best schools for our children.
More investment into Thurrock
Thurrock is the jewel in Essex's economy, but it can be better still.
I will continue to attract further external investment for Thurrock, improving our infrastructure, including £200 million for the A13 and Junction 30 improvements and £20 million Purfleet regeneration project, £25 million for Grays and £25 million for Tilbury.
More housing that people can afford
Everyone should be able to own their own home.
I have championed more new build homes and help to buy schemes, including a 100% Stamp Duty cut for most first time buyers. So that everyone can achieve the dream of homeownership
