Last week my office had 243 new cases raised with us by local residents - requests for help with a wide range of personal concerns. This is a snapshot of just five of those cases to illustrate what we do working for Walthamstow.

Debbie Abrahams MP with volunteers and Councillor Aftab Hussain in Roundthorn

I was out in Roundthorn last week speaking to residents.

Several residents raised concerns with me regarding the back alleys. This has been an ongoing issue and has been raised with me at many of my community meetings including the last one I held in Roundthorn.

We desperately need a railway system that people can rely on in the East of England.

Whether passengers are taking a single trip or commuting every day, they should feel that the railway is there to help them.

I believe that people should trust that their train will be on time.

Proud to join my friend Matt Western and other MPs in calling on #SocialMedia platforms to address #racist and #misogynistic abuse targeting Jess Carter.

As we celebrate #Lionesses’ achievements, we must also demand better protections for #women - on and off the pitch.
