Jane Hunt MP It is a pleasure to be wri ng my first column for Soar Valley Life. I was deeply honoured to be elected as the Member of Parliament for the Loughborough cons tuency in December’s General Elec on. Regardless of how you voted in that elec on (or indeed, if you didn’t vote at all), I promise to serve the whole cons tuency to the very best of my ability. Since being elected, it has been a whirlwind. There is a lot to learn; and despite having worked for my predecessor (now the Baroness Morgan of Cotes) for nine years, I now realise that I saw only a ny part of the work of an MP. But despite the steep learning curve, the one priority I had during the campaign remains the same – the Loughborough cons tuency. In January I made my maiden speech in the House of Commons. In that speech I talked about the generous nature of those who live in our area. It is the cando a tude of those living here and the willingness to help each other out which makes me proud to represent such a fantas c part of the country in the House of Commons. In the first few months as MP I have been focused on a number of issues. Flooding has affected many parts of the cons tuency; Loughborough, Barrow, Sileby, Hathern and other areas have been badly hit. I have held mee ngs with Leicestershire County Council, the Environment Agency and other agencies to mi gate against future wet weather condi ons. I have also focused on bus routes, local businesses and crime.

As the MP for a major university town, I realise the importance of Loughborough University to the local area. Since being elected, I have met with the Vice Chancellor and the Students’ Union Execu ve to discuss how I can support students and the University. We are the spor ng capital of the UK, and I will always support the University in keeping Loughborough on the spor ng map. Finally, I am always available to any cons tuent who needs my help or who wants to raise an issue with me. My email address is jane.hunt.mp@parliament.uk and office telephone is 01509 262723.
