Thank you to everyone who voted!

Supporting primary care services like GP practices and pharmacies are absoutely critical to resolving our wider public health crisis.

With huge rising costs this is putting people at even more risk.

I encorage everyone to sign Marie's petition!

Ah yes the well known genre of:

As the MP for Chelmsford, I’m keen to get to know all services that support residents. Last Friday, I visited Chelmsford Fire Station. We’re lucky to have an amazing team here. If you’re passionate about helping others, you can sign up here to volunteer: www.essex-fire.gov.uk/volunteering

With public likes, its going to be much easier over here to mark out the complete and utter troglodytes
