It is important for me to listen to all residents, businesses and visitors in Bedford and Kempston.
I passionately believe in bringing our communities together to celebrate what is fantastic about our areas. I have already held round tables with government minsters visiting our towns and hosting round tables with them and local stakeholders to discuss issues impacting them both locally and nationally.
Over the coming weeks and months, I look forward to meeting as many people as I can on the doorstep, at local events or in our town centres. If you see me in the street please do say hello.
In the meantime it would mean a lot to me if you could complete my any of my online surveys so I know what your thoughts are on issues that matter most to us here in Bedford and Kempston.
