It’s time to work together for a better Peterborough
Peterborough is a proud working city. We work hard. We’ve got common sense. But for too many people, life is getting tougher.
One of the things I hear most often is ‘it’s just not working’ – whether that’s trying to get a doctor’s appoint or get on the housing ladder, dealing with anti-social behaviour or finding a good, secure and well-paying job.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
We need a new plan for Peterborough. That’s why I am bringing people together from across the city to build a different kind of politics – where we work together to fix problems
My values come from my parents: Mum was a cleaner and Dad was a car factory worker. They taught me that hard work matters and that there should be no barriers to working class families getting on in life.
Growing up in nearby Milton Keynes, I saw the new town promise of good jobs, decent housing and a great place to live sold short by a Conservative government, just like here in Peterborough.
That upbringing made education a passion for me. I was the first of my family to go to college and know the value of good schools to getting on in life. When my brother died in 2016, following an accident, I dedicated myself to fighting for better skilled jobs and apprenticeships, and against unsafe, insecure work.
I’ve had a career helping people to get on at work and in life. Success means being pro-worker and pro-business. I helped lead the successful campaign to introduce universal free school meals and have been a foodbank volunteer. Today, I work for a union helping people get better skills and jobs.
This is a lovely interview. I’m so looking forward to when @RachelReevesMP is our next Chancellor.
Great conversations today. People are fed up nothing seems to work anymore - not enough police, no NHS dentists, working harder for less. It’s time for change - that’s @LabourPBoro’s message.
How to get things done. 👇
🚨 New bus route coming for Thorney & Eye 🚨
Love seeing this extended route on a map. Thanks to everyone who has been pushing for this. And to @NikJohnsonCA @anna4labour for listening.
This is all about working together.
🚨 Update on the sunken gardens in Central Park.
The memorial stones have now been cleaned up and are looking good.
Good to see them getting the attention they deserve.
Still some work to do. Thank you to councillors for supporting the works
It’s been a great start to our summer campaign this week.
Thank you to everyone who has helped, spoken or joined us.
It’s time to get Peterborough & country back on its feet.

🚨This looks like a win - after a long campaign.
@NikJohnsonCA @anna4labour putting forward plans for a direct bus route for Thorney & Eye into Peterborough
It was a blow to lose 36 bus last year. This extends the 4 to bring back a direct route.

Thanks to @JudithCummins for inviting me to Parliament this week to share Peterborough concerns about late night fireworks.
Hundreds of people have been in touch with me so I’m pleased to back her new Bill to deal with noise levels.
