Fair Treatment for Carers

Too many carers across the country are being unfairly punished by the Department for Work & Pensions for minor overpayments. At PMQs, Claire pressed the Prime Minister over their actions and raised the case of a former local police officer who's been caught up in this scandal.

A432 Overbridge Debate

Claire led a debate in Parliament on the impact of the closure of the A432 overbridge. She put several direct questions to the Minister about what the Govt was doing to speed up the work, support those affected, and prevent this happening again. Sadly, the Minister chose to duck them and offered little to reassure those living near the bridge or along nearby roads. Claire says this simply isn't good enough and will keep pushing for action.

Marine Renewable Energy Generation

The UK has long been defined by our connection to the sea and now has the unique opportunity to lead the way in Marine Renewable energy generation. This will not only deliver new high quality jobs, but also allow us to transform parts of the country that feel forgotten about.
