It has been nearly two weeks since I had the privilege of being re-elected as the MP for Tatton. I want to take this opportunity again to thank everyone who put their trust in me, and to promise - as I have always done - to continue representing everyone in the constituency regardless of whether or not they voted for me.

Being an MP is an honour and it is something I have always taken very seriously.

As part of the boundary changes, I have welcomed in new residents to the constituency, from Lymm as well as the villages of Sutton Weaver, Dutton and Aston. I will be getting out and about meeting people and businesses in those areas, as well as the rest of Tatton as I re-start my regular Q&A sessions. I am also looking forward to my planned surgeries in Lymm where I hope I can continue to meet more of the residents. Many have been in touch with me already and am working on a number of cases where they need my help.

This week the new Prime Minister will set out his government’s legislative programme for this parliamentary session and I, along with my Conservative colleagues, will do our constitutional duty of holding him to account. Keir Starmer is in No10 with the weakest of mandates – he polled fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn in 2019 and turnout was the second lowest in history at 60 per cent - and yet now boasts a massive Parliamentary majority. I will always make sure the voices of Tatton residents are heard in Westminster.

I have grave concerns over Labour’s planning proposals. In her first speech as Chancellor, Rachel Reeves has fired the starting gun on a process that could see vast swathes of protected greenbelt recategorized as “greybelt” – allowing it to be built on more easily. I will do everything I can to protect precious greenbelt sites - which are important to our local communities in Tatton - from inappropriate development.

Other ongoing issues I will continue fighting for are better broadband, ensuring our roads are repaired and resurfaced, and improving our local transport links and services among other things.

One of the first meetings I have called for since being re-elected is with Labour run Warrington Council about its appalling financial mismanagement. Many concerns were raised with me in the campaign and once I hear more I will report back.

As I have said before, one of the best things about being an MP is the opportunity to meet people, visit charities, businesses and events, along with schools and I look forward to resuming all of these activities now and hope to see as many of you as possible in the coming weeks and months.

As always, if anyone needs my help, or just want to meet to discuss any issues of concern, please contact me on officeofesthermcveymp@parliament.uk or 01625 529922.
