My A-to-Z review of 2023 of the most important things both in Great Yarmouth and Westminster.
Action across the constituency, with thousands of cases dealt with for residents.
Borough elections when Conservative councillors received a vote of confidence. Labour failed to take control of the Town Hall.
Coastal Erosion continuing to raise in Parliament, with ministers and agencies, and working with the council to find longer-term solutions.
Dentistry and my campaign for better access to treatment. Locally the NHS started a new emergency dental scheme, with a longer-term plan set to be revealed in March.
EU laws ditched after Parliament votes to scrap unwanted EU rules and give British laws priority.
Free childcare, for two-year-old children of working parents from April.
Great Yarmouth business the focus of a debate I called in Parliament calling for extra support for small businesses.
Housing and urgent reform to our planning system with a different approach to provide the homes our country needs.
Inflation, government focus sees it halved, helping households with everyday bills.
Journeys by bus cheaper than before thanks to the £2 fare cap that’s been extended for another year.
King’s Coronation, and all the fantastic community celebrations that brightened up our towns and villages.
Levelling Up, with a further £20 million Government investment locally.
Market as the first stall holders moved into our new multi-million-pound market.
National Insurance contributions being cut by two per cent this month, an average tax cut of £450 for many Great Yarmouth workers.
Online Safety Act providing world-leading laws to keep our children safe on the internet.
Pensions. The Triple Lock preserved and an 8.7% increase from next April.
Question sessions with school and college children from across the constituency. Most recently I welcomed East Norfolk Sixth Form to Parliament.
R for Remembrance. An honour to take part in the official Remembrance Sunday commemoration in Great Yarmouth.
Stopping the use of our town centre hotels to house asylum seekers and forcing the Home Office to ditch their ill-advised policy.
Ticket Office saved so that rail passengers still have access to station staff as rail company forced to think again following our local opposition.
Uplift in Universal Credit and working benefits of 6.7 per cent.
Votes, I passed through the division lobbies 203 times to vote on debates and legislation.
