Amidst the chaos, sleaze and attempts to dodge accountability from this Tory Government, your locally elected Lib Dem-led Council is working hard to defend services and show what honest and accountable government looks like.
Since winning control of Mole Valley District Council, the Lib Dems have implemented Phase 1 of their Action Plan to mitigate Climate Change...
New analysis by the Liberal Democrats has revealed Britain's nine biggest water companies made a total £2.8bn in operating profits last year. Thames Water, which is responsible for waste water in our area and dumps sewage into the River Mole at its Pixham works, made £488.8m in 2020/21.
As the Climate Change Cabinet Member, Claire Malcomson led the Liberal Democrat Administration's Motion in the Council Chamber, working cross party to Declare an Ecology Emergency. MVDC is one of only 15% of councils to do this and is proud to spearhead this initiative.
As your Climate Change Cabinet Member, I am making sure lots is going on: The 24th September is the first day of The Great Big Green Week, which runs until 2nd October. Mole Valley District Council is supporting this by asking our residents to make a pledge. The pledge will be for 2 months. It could be pledging to reuse a bottle or cup instead of using disposable ones, to pledging to share lifts with other parents or colleagues. Click here for ideas and how to join in
Welcome to my second Blog. These are specially to keep you up to date with what I am doing as the Climate Change Member for Mole Valley. I am very privileged to have this position and take my work very seriously. So much so, I have gone back to Uni. as a mature student and am half way through my master's in Sustainable Development and Environment. Here are some of the things we have been moving forward with:
Chris questions the OBR on the Spring Statement during Treasury Select Committee hearings.
Fiona Laskaris courageously went on ITV news to tell the story of her autistic son, Christopher, and how changing the Mental Capacity Act 2005 could have saved his life.
I've been working with London Business School Professor Paolo Surico on using public research and development, especially defence spending, to boost economic growth.
Westvale Park in Horley has been waiting seven years for their promised GP to materialise. I asked the Government to work with me to ensure that this housing development, and others in our constituency, get the health services they need.
I wrote to Bridget Phillipson, the Secretary of State for Education, with Surrey Liberal Democrat MP colleagues, to request that she now directly intervenes with necessary measures to prevent the risk of any further harm to children and families in Surrey
I was touched to see that the Russian government has been watching my speeches in Parliament. They have sanctioned me as a result.
Leader's Speech to Autumn Conference 2025
Women’s rights around the world are under attack, with authoritarianism on the rise and deep cuts to UK aid undermining decades of progress. Defending women's rights must be a top priority and the UK must act boldly.
Two years of brutal civil war have turned Sudan into one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with over 30 million people in urgent need of aid. Our new policy calls for UK leadership to end the conflict - standing with the Sudanese people.
