What I do

Streatham

Streatham is where I grew up, and is a vibrant, diverse, and growing community. It is tied together by Streatham High Road, an important business hub and Europe’s longest High Street. Streatham has benefited from its diversity with a growing cultural scene including film, food, and arts festivals supported by the inStreatham business improvement district.

Camberwell Green Magistrates Court

I’ve written objecting to the proposal to close Camberwell Green Magistrates Court in Southwark following the closure of Lambeth County Court which served my constituents.

Streatham Youth and Community Trust

Visiting the Streatham Youth and Community Trust who provide vital services for our young people and wider community.

Home Affairs Select Committee – Report on antisemitism

Letter - Southern Rail

I’ve written to the Government seeking urgent clarification on their plans to transfer control of Southern Rail services to Transport for London – they can’t be allowed to backtrack on their commitment to this.

House of Commons - Leaving the European Union Statement

I reminded the Brexit Secretary that the job of Government is to secure a Brexit deal that serves the interests of everybody and not to sow further seeds of division in our country.
