Out this morning with Cllr Christian Cox in Millbrook talking to residents in Mansel Road East and Ullswater Rd. Met shop keeper who told me his story of police not taking shoplifting seriously.

Big, bold stuff from our Prime Minister in his speech today! 💥 Proud we’re not shying away from big issues. Proud that we won’t stop until we solve the problems hounding families in Southampton and beyond – whether social care costs, young people out of work, or energy bills. Here’s to HOPE! 🙏🏾

Really exciting to see Southampton chosen as one of the first areas for SSEN's new pilot to upgrade old electricity connections. ⚡ This is alongside SSEN's huge £155 million investment in Southampton's electricity network – something we worked hard to secure through my Southampton Energy Coalition.

Brilliant to visit Youth Options in Mansel Park recently, for an inspiring chat with young people about their neighbourhood. 🏡 With £20m Pride in Place funding coming to the area, to be spent by the community, I’m clear young people must be at the heart of the process. Thank you for having me!
