Labour is putting money back into #Preston with a £10.1m boost for local services and an extra £310 million for Lancashire over the next five years.

This is a huge 38% increase for Preston City Council and 27% increase for Lancashire County Council, one of the largest settlements in the country.

The Budget announcements by the Chancellor today will renew our economy and communities, without resorting to austerity or increased borrowing. Instead it will cut NHS waiting lists, cut debt and borrowing and cut the cost of living.

People in #Preston will be much better off.

I am proud that our Government is the first to introduce a Men’s Health Strategy for England, this #Movember.

This is a milestone moment in which we will commit to recognising and addressing the health inequalities that affect men and boys.

I am appalled that Places for People still haven’t adequately dealt with the devastating bed bug infestation at Clifton House, #Preston since I first raised this issue, a year ago.

Elderly and vulnerable continue to suffer significantly with their mental and physical health. Read my letter below:

Fireworks cause stress and anxiety in animals. Did you know that 66% of animals are negatively impacted by private firework displays?

If you’re holding a private display, make sure to give neighbours enough time to prepare.
