Labour Government Delivers Historic Win for Renters as the Renters’ Rights Bill Becomes Law The Labour Government has this week delivered on a cornerstone promise to Britain’s renters, as the Renters’ Rights Bill officially becomes law — ushering in a new era of fairness, security and dignity for millions of people who rent their homes across the UK. For too long, renters have faced insecurity, poor conditions, and the constant threat of unfair eviction. As of this week, that all changes.

Local MP Peter Lamb calls for Crawley residents to have their say on relaxing licencing hours

Peter Lamb MP delighted by the return of Sure Start-style services in West Sussex

Amateur boxing clubs play a vital role helping young people stay on the straight and narrow, supporting physical fitness and developing UK champions of the future. With clubs often struggling with financial viability, I asked the Secretary of State what support can be offered to grassroots boxing.

Having inherited a housing crisis, I'm relieved Crawley will be seeing an extra £423k from the Government to help deal with local homelessness pressures.

That's on top of the national £1bn new spend on new temporary housing and the £39bn for new social and affordable housing.

The removal of voices from the frontbench representing the majority of the party and PLP was unfortunate.

Without hearing those voices behind closed doors, public division and rebellion becomes far more likely.

I've voted for Lucy to ensure every part of the movement is heard.

Meeting with venues over recent weeks the challenges facing hospitality are clear.

There are local things we can do to help and nationally I'm seeking business rate and VAT changes, but the greater licensing flexibility announced this week is an improvement.

Glad to have had the chance today to discuss changes needed to support the hospitality sector and to inspect the £15m retrofit of the ibis Styles hotel on Manor Royal. First time I've come across a hotel using heat pumps, as they close-in on net zero.

Deeply concerned by the attack on the mosque in Peacehaven. Given the proximity to Crawley, I'm looking to meet with local faith leaders, police, and the council this week to discuss what has happened and what can be done to address the hatred and ensure local religious communities are kept safe.

Great having the chance yesterday to attend the Kyokushin Cup of Europe/British Open knockdown Karate tournament at K2 and then the opportunity to participate in the Onam festival with Crawley's Indian Orthodox Church.
