Ensuring Green Promises Deliver for Sleaford and North Hykeham

The Energy Secretary has set out clearly today how policy on large solar developments is to be applied to re-establish balance and ensure that our energy security must not come at the expense of our food security.

I was pleased to speak as part of the Environment APPG panel with Selaine Saxby MP and DEFRA Minister Rebecca Pow. I spoke about the health and environmental risks disposable vapes can have and my Ten Minute Rule Bill to prohibit the sale of disposable e-cigarettes and vapes.

I have signed up to become a Plastic Free Ally following Sleaford's accreditation as a Plastic Free Community!

Many of my constituents have contacted me with their concerns about rising utility bills and the high cost of fuel for their cars, which is particularly apparent in rural areas such as in Sleaford and North Hykeham.

I am very concerned that there has been an escalation in fly-tipping in our local area, with lorry loads of waste being dumped against gate entrances, in fields and on farm tracks in a number of places.
