Thanks for taking the time to find my site. Through my decades of public service I have always tried to listen to and communicate with the people I represent. This website is an exciting development of that aim. Please look around, learn about me, the issues I care about and the campaigns I am involved in. I would be delighted to hear from you with any comments you may have. I believe that Lancaster and Fleetwood deserves an MP who lives in the area, knows the local issues and is connected with people's lives. If you agree with me, I hope you will consider voting for me at the next General Election.
