Celebrating some big steps forward

WE have taken some big steps forward in South Gloucestershire, but there is much more to do.

Half-hourly train services from Yate to Bristol have finally been confirmed following my debate in Parliament. More funding has been made available, and we can expect half-hourly train services from May, providing a more reliable transport option for people locally, reducing journey times, taking cars off the road, and reducing emissions.

Planning permission to reopen Charfield Railway Station was also granted, following strong community support which demonstrated to the Council and the Combined Authority the need

to get these plans over the line.

Promising progress was made for safer communities with local police confirming increased speeding enforcement in Rangeworthy and Bagstone. They will also be working alongside the local primary school to improve safety, and the council will deploy speed data recorders.

I am working closely with the neighbourhood police team to enhance the safety and security for residents in our rural villages and I will continue to push for us to get our fair share of extra officers to tackle antisocial behaviour and rural crime.

Last month we heard the fantastic news from the council

Cars, where families had loaded up what they could to escape the advancing Russian forces, but they didn’t make it out.

"The Russians fired on them and killed all trying to escape.

"This is taking place, on the continent of Europe, in a Parliamentary democracy.

"The people of Ukraine are fighting for their lives and their freedom.

"I felt incredibly moved to be in Kyiv for the anniversary of the invasion, when I was able to place a candle at the Wall of Heroes."

Mr Lopresti, who has asked several Parliamentary questions on supplying equipment to Ukrainian forces and hosted Ukrainian Members of Parliament at Westminster, said he would continue to work with ministers, manufacturers, and the MoD's equipment team at Abbey Wood to ensure that Ukrainians "get the equipment they need as quickly as possible as they defend our universal values of democracy, freedom and an international rules-based order".

We have had positive national announcements for school funding, with South Gloucestershire’s per pupil funding increase of 6.9%, significantly above the national increase.

This will help with our plans to build a new primary school in Yate and refurbish school buildings locally.

However, there is still more to do. I have met with the Health Minister, as we await announcements on the future of Thornbury Health Centre.

And I will continue to fight excessive development, oppose inappropriate projects and defend our beautiful natural countryside.

We have made a huge amount of progress, but there is lots more still to do.
