The government has accepted that air pollution from the A3 in our area is the worst in the country. I will continue to press to tunnel the A3 at Guildford; less pollution, less noise, fewer delays.
From Worplesdon to Cranleigh, people say that surface and river floods need to be fixed. So I’ve re-instated the Guildford Flood Forum to bring the councils, Thames Water and residents together. We will address the blight of flooding.
Guildford and our villages have many high streets and commercial centres that need support and attention. I have launched the Guildford Forum for issues in Guildford Town and will launch a forum for sustainable transport in the future.
Our green spaces in Guildford in our villages are precious and once they are gone, they are gone. I will work with the council and government to ensure that we keep our area's green while balancing local housing need.
The Royal Surrey is a major health hub for the South East. I will help it fundraise for a new Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre to increase treatment rates and will work with the government to promote this vital project.
I will prioritise the safety of women and girls in our area. I want to see a Local Action Plan for women and girls' safety from the council and I will work with Surrey Police to make sure this remains a key priority.
