📮 Residents in Horsham are still facing unacceptable delays in receiving their post. I’ve written to Royal Mail, calling for an urgent meeting about letters arriving late, in bulk, or not arriving at all. People deserve a better and more reliable service.

🗣️ Rural residents already pay significantly more council tax per head than their urban counterparts, despite having lower average wages. We cannot simply take models designed around large city regions and assume they will work in rural communities with smaller populations.

✍️ I've written to the Health Secretary about the financial pressures facing hospices. Hospices provide essential care to people and families at some of the most difficult points in their lives, but many are facing growing financial pressures.

🚨Camera update🚨 I'm pleased to say we've been given the go-ahead for a new CCTV camera to tackle street racing and anti-social driving around Kilnwood Vale. The camera will have night vision and a 360-degree view, and will be monitored by Sussex Police to help identify those involved.

✉️ Last week, I delivered a cross-party letter to the Prime Minister, urging him to support funding for lobular breast cancer research. Andy Burnham supported the Horsham Lobular Moon Shot Project campaign as Manchester Mayor, so I wanted to remind him of the importance of his commitment now.

The government is completely misguided if it thinks this is the way to deliver the housing local communities need. Housing should be built with communities, not imposed on them. We must empower local councils with the resources to deliver genuinely affordable homes alongside proper infrastructure.
