YouTube video by Bobby Dean MP The project that could unlock better train services for Sutton

I'm calling on the Government to back the project.

Watch my full speech here: youtu.be/Fg_ltrQGkNA?...

Did you know there's a small infrastructure project in Croydon that could unlock better train services for our whole borough?

The proposed Croydon Area Remodelling Scheme (CARS) would be a game changer for the capacity, frequency and reliability of train services in Carshalton & Wallington.

The Environment Agency is failing our area.

❌ One year on from the Wandle Diesel Spill, the EA has still held nobody to account.
❌ Despite objections from me and Sutton Council, the EA still says it may approve incinerator expansion.

I asked the Labour Government: what is going on?

Extend St Helier Hospital's Emergency Department - Bobby Dean MP

Add your voice by signing and sharing my petition: bobbydean.co.uk/sthelier

St Helier Hospital’s A&E is at breaking point. Patients treated in corridors, staff stretched to the limit – enough is enough.

With our new hospital building delayed for years by the Government, we need action now. We’re calling for one urgent, realistic step: extend St Helier’s A&E immediately.

(2/2) By ignoring this the Government are once again choosing to side with the industry over consumers and taxpayers, just as they have done throughout the motor finance scandal.

I’m working in Parliament to close this loophole and make sure big banks pay their fair share.

City minister accused of ignoring £2bn car finance tax loophole Critics say banks will be able to avoid tax on compensation payouts to victims of £11bn loans scandal

We hear from ministers over and over again about tough economic choices, but when big banks avoid £2bn in tax through a loophole, they refuse to take action. (1/2)

At the end of April, I will be abseiling 125ft down the front of St Helier Hospital to raise money for the Epsom & St Helier Hospitals Charity!

Residents have reported to me an environmental disaster on the Wandle today.

A major diesel spillage has left wildlife covered and caused untold damage to the waterway.

I'm in touch with the Environment Agency and will make sure those responsible are held to account.

Yesterday we learned that some government departments haven’t even started their zero-based spending reviews.

I raised with the Justice Secretary the shocking state of our prisons, where an independent report described conditions at this prison as inhumane.
