Back to Parliament After a long and sunny recess in Adur and Worthing, Parliament returned this week.   Schools also returned this week, and to help support families, several of the Labour Government’s policies come into force, including cutting the cost of school uniforms by capping the number of branded items required, opening more free breakfast…

It has been an incredibly sad week for our community, with four members of the same family passing away after getting into serious difficulty in the sea near Shoreham Fort. My thoughts are with the family and friends of Hassan El-Khawas, Zeina Alayn, Sara El-Khawas, and Saja El-Khawas.

The Labour Government has unveiled plans to give our community and councils greater say over new vape shops, betting shops, and adult gaming centres in Adur and Worthing, addressing residents’ concerns.

It might be the summer recess when Parliament does not sit, but the Government is continuing to announce measures to help people here in East Worthing and Shoreham.  

Last week was certainly busy here in East Worthing and Shoreham! 

It was brilliant to visit Shoreham Airport to meet their Director of Aviation Services, firefighters and air traffic controllers – as well as the businesses based there, including AeroVolt, Gochers Laundry, Advance Helicopters, and Cox Marine.

In his first week as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham has announced some fantastic measures to build a fairer country and get Britain believing in itself again.  

Ahead of setting out a new 10-year plan for Britain, the Prime Minister has pledged to build a new economy, putting life’s essentials back under public control to make them affordable again. 

This week, the new Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party, Andy Burnham, entered 10 Downing Street.

In his first speech as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham set out his vision for the country, including helping with the cost of living, ending rough sleeping, and taking power from Westminster and Whitehall, and putting it back into our communities.

Following the resignation of the Prime Minister, the Labour Party is currently choosing a new Leader who – as we are in Government – will become Prime Minister.

Last week marked two years since you placed your trust in me to represent us in Parliament at the 2024 General Election.

Since then, I have been working hard alongside our Labour Government and local Labour councils to serve our community.

Last week, the Government launched its Great British Summer Savings scheme to address cost-of-living concerns so that families can enjoy the summer, and businesses can benefit from increased footfall.
