Thank you to the organisers of the Yate Outdoor Sports Complex Junior Parkrun for inviting me to come to their first ever event. It was great success and I hope that it goes from strength to strength in the coming months. If you’d like to find out more: www.parkrun.org.uk/yosc-juniors/

I had a great time at the Hawkesbury Upton Community Library. Not just books on offer, but tea and cake as well as activities for kids after school. Normally money raised funds the library costs, but when I was there they were raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Image

It’s been a tough year for farmers. The Liberal Democrats have a plan to keep food flowing.

It was lovely to visit the Thornbury Stroke Support group on one of its regular craft sessions. The Jubilee Hall in Alveston was buzzing with people enjoying a range of activities, and it was touching to see the firm friendships that had been formed at the group.

The Sustainable Farming Initiative allows farmers to use some of their land for environmental initiatives. However, local farmer Annalisa Heal says trying to get a slice of the cash was like trying to get a ticket to Glastonbury. Watch the full chat: youtube.com/shorts/k76Lw...

Thank you to everyone at the Brace dementia event in Thornbury for taking time to chat to me. This Bristol charity is funding some crucial work in the battle against the diseases.

It was great to visit the site of the new Thornbury Health Centre now that building work is underway. I look forward to seeing its progress over the next few months.

Onshore fracking will not reduce our energy bills. That is why I led a debate against any form of fracking this week in Parliament. The oil and gas industry are exploiting a fracking loophole. It's about time the government made good on its promise and banned ALL fracking for good.

When was the last time you got a 14% pay rise? The chief executive of Wessex Water did so this summer, while the company keeps dumping sewage in our rivers. 345 of you signed the e-petition that triggered yesterday's water ownership debate. I went along and raised your concerns.

Fining parents for their children’s school absence, when those children cannot attend due to unmet SEND needs, is not right. This is what I have been doing as your MP to try to change that 👇.

Today the Commons voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Having voted for the Bill, I am deeply disappointed for all those who have campaigned for choice and dignity at the end of life, especially those who are themselves facing terminal illness.

I have asked the Health Secretary what steps are being taken to protect care home residents during heatwaves like we have experienced this summer.

Claire Young MP 🔶 @claireyoungmp.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Today I stood up in the House of Commons and asked the new Education Secretary, Lucy Powell, whether she will end the injustice of parents being prosecuted for the failings of the SEND system.

It’s Air Ambulance Week and I’ve been to an event in parliament to celebrate their work. Earlier this year, I wrote a letter to the government, signed by fellow MPs, asking for funding help. I continue to support the wonderful work being done by GWAAC, as seen in the BBC's Emergency 24/7

It was great to be the Alveston Family Village Fair in the company of local councillor, Tony Williams. I’m afraid my axe throwing skills haven’t improved….

There’s been a lot going on with the arrival of September - including heading back to Westminster and making headlines over the M49 ghost junction

The Golden Valley Nature Reserve in Wick is a magical place. Long may it continue to be so.

Farage has always behaved as though the rules apply to everyone but him. These allegations against Reform look like the latest example. Lib Dem Cabinet Office spokesperson @lisasmartmp.bsky.social has written to the police and the electoral commission asking them to investigate.

This is serious. If Reform blatantly, intentionally and knowingly broke election law, they should be held fully accountable. Liberal Democrats have asked the Police and the Electoral Commission to investigate.

I have spoken in the adjournment debate I secured about the M49 ‘ghost junction’. It means a minister had to come to the Commons to reply to my concerns about this farcical situation. See the whole debate here youtu.be/HDZ_10WzRh0

It’s back to school time this week. Spare a thought for those children who find it an overwhelming ordeal - and the parents trying to support them

After a wonderful few weeks getting around Thornbury and Yate, it’s back to London for the start of the new parliamentary session. First up for me, an adjournment debate I have secured about the M49 ‘ghost junction’

Free local bus travel is a vital lifeline for many disabled people. After an almost two-year campaign the Government has finally listened to Liberal Democrat calls to stop restrictions to disabled bus passes. Disabilities don’t start at 9.30am. Neither should disabled bus passes.

BBC News headline announces 24-hour free bus travel for disabled people in England; a crowd of cheering Liberal Democrat supporters hold bus-shaped placards and party signs celebrating the policy.

Congratulations to every student across the constituency collecting their results today. Whether you sat A-levels, BTECs or T-levels, be proud of the work that got you here. If you need any support during this period my office is always here to help.

A busy last day of the summer tour. Thank you to everyone who came to chat about a variety of issues in Wickwar and Acton Turville. Our regular surgeries continue if you would like to book an appointment.

We had a fruitful day on Wednesday visiting Easter Compton Farm Shop and Bristol Zoo Project. It’s the last day of the summer tour tomorrow, and I will be in Wickwar and Acton Turville. If you want to see me, contact the office: 020 219 3000

I popped into the police station in Thornbury to catch up with the officers there and to discuss the issues around finding a permanent home for the force in the town.

Claire Young MP 🔶 @claireyoungmp.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

It was great to see up close the progress being made on Charfield’s new railway station. I also was updated on exciting plans for a traffic-free ‘greenway’ which will link the station with local communities, providing a safe walking, wheeling and cycling route.

Many schools in our area closed over the recent heatwave. This was partly due to the fact we are unprepared for such hot summers. The Government needs to invest into proper air conditioning and more cool green space. I made the case to the Minister in a recent chamber exchange.

Claire Young MP 🔶 @claireyoungmp.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Fewer than half of children locally have seen an NHS dentist in the past two years. That is not good enough. Here's what I've been doing in Parliament to challenge this.

Lib Dem MP Gideon Amos mentioned my attempts to stop the practice of ‘fleecehold’ in new build estates, as part of a wider debate on leasehold rights. Earlier this year the minister gave a commitment that this issue would be fixed in this parliament; it’s not in the current bill

I asked the minister how the government will provide training for people working on any future new nuclear projects at Oldbury. He still hasn’t committed to making sure local people can benefit from local jobs.

The amount of energy needed for data centres to run properly is an emerging problem as the use of AI becomes more widespread. I attended a meeting on this as part of Net Zero Week in Parliament. It’s clear we need to move fast on this issue.
