This budget is about easing the everyday pressures of the cost of living crisis. That’s why the minimum and living wage for nearly 3 million workers across the UK is going up again in April:
* 💷 £900 a year increase in pay = A full-time worker on the National Living Wage
* 💷 £1500 a year increase in pay = A full-time worker on the National Minimum Wage

*Roadworks in Shinfield next week*

Please see upcoming roadworks next week. Lots of resurfacing being done around our village so quite a few closures.

Over the last month, my casework team and I have supported constituents to keep their neighbourhoods tidy, as well as helping those in need. Recently, we have:

•⁠ ⁠Arranged essential tree maintenance and the rebuilding of broken fences

•⁠ ⁠Supported residents to have double yellow lines repainted and dropped curbs to be installed.

•⁠ ⁠Helped a constituent access emergency food support during a time of crisis.

•⁠ ⁠Secured a refund for a constituent’s incorrect parking charges.

Over the last month, we’ve had over 700 new cases come in for my team to help with. Please get in touch if you think that I can help you with local or national issues, or if you would like to ask about a particular Government policy!
