While the Grenfell disaster put the failure to deal with fire safety on the national agenda, more still needs to be done to ensure people are not exposed to the cost of repairs and remediation. #LisaSmartMP #HazelGrove #Westminster #Parliament

Attended events in Parliament dealing with protecting children from the horrors of livestreamed abuse; on early detection and treatment of Heart Valve Disease; and on better care for patients.

Met with the insightful Dame Sarah Storey to look at the accessibility improvements in Romiley; and discuss ramped access at the train station, better implementation of 20mph zones and identifying and delivering road safety at known hotspots.

Featured on Radio 4's "Week in Westminster" to discuss why we need more transparency around the role of the former Prince Andrew as a trade envoy, my speech in the historic Humble Address debate and Lib Dem calls for further improvements needed so that MPs can hold the powerful to account.

Tackled the Minister about the poor deal for postmasters that is preventing us from getting replacement post office services in High Lane and Hazel Grove.

This week I:

Was reselected as the Lib Dem candidate for Hazel Grove constituency for the next General Election. It may not be due until 2029, but with this Government’s record of u-turns …

Thank you to the Patients Association and the Royal College of General Practitioners, who were at Parliament this week to launch their new joint report. As you know, improving the NHS – and in particular getting the funding Stepping Hill needs – is at the top of my priorities.

Lisa Smart MP looks at the results of her test for Heart Valve Disease at the Heart Valve Voice event at Parliament.

I was at a Parliamentary event for the Heart Valve Foundation on Wednesday, and got my heart tested (yes, I do have a heart – feel free to make jokes about the rest of the Wizard of Oz characters). Their work is vital for early detection of heart disease. #LisaSmartMP #HazelGrove #Health

It is hard to hear about livestreamed abuse, but it is important that this is dealt with by Westminster, and we put in place the laws that will help end this criminal exploitation of children. Thank you to the International Justice Mission for coming to Parliament to talk about how to combat this.

Thanks to @lisasmartmp.bsky.social for joining us for a guided walk in your constituency, where we highlighted the barriers people with sight loss encounter on a daily basis when making walking journeys, and the importance of vision rehabilitation services in providing essential mobility training.

Central to our call for transparency and accountability around the Epstein revelations is a full investigation into Mountbatten-Windsor’s appointment as special representative for trade and investment. The British people deserve to know.

hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2026...

The impact of the Epstein crimes on our Parliament is a stain on public life. I led the parliamentary debate on this on Tuesday. We have listened to the gut-wrenching stories of abuse endured by vulnerable women and girls, and we are now at a crossroads in our public life.

Thanks very much to Bhav Patel, and the Federation of Independent Retailers, for inviting me down to Heaviley to talk about issues facing the small business sector – particularly around business rates and energy costs. Extremely insightful and helpful. #LisaSmartMP #constituency #community #support

One critical problem with Royal Mail delivery is NHS letters and appointments not getting through to people quickly enough. It's good to hear that an NHS barcode system has been brought in to address this. It would be good to get people's feedback on whether it is working.

Lisa Smart MP asking a question at Westminster.

I asked last week about delays on processing applications at the DVLA, and followed up by asking about the impact of their new casework system. A new "medical services" portal is due to come online in April, to hopefully speed those up. #LisaSmartMP #HazelGrove

What a lovely reception at the Wavers Cafe at Offerton Community Centre. A great bunch of people making a real difference in the community. If you haven't been yet, you really should. #LisaSmartMP #constituency #community #support

Lisa Smart MP asking a question in Parliament.

Road safety measures must be based on the latest evidence and best practice, not relying on data produced in 2018. Just like on speed cameras, the new Road Safety Strategy says that the Government should ”update its guidance”. A little less talk, and a little more action please.

Lisa Smart MP talking to students at Hazel Grove High School

It is always great to visit local schools, and hear the range of concerns that young people have about our communities and our politics. I was at Hazel Grove High School this week, and I find it reassuring to know how much the young people of our area care. #LisaSmartMP #community #education #future

With inflation pushing at the cost of living in all directions, it is vital that people don't get caught out by sudden increases in subscriptions on contracts for phone and TV. That's why I'm pushing the Gov't to do more to ensure people are kept informed and protected. #LisaSmartMP

Good to check in with local accessible trains campaigner Nathaniel Yates to discuss the progress towards making Bredbury Station accessible, and what else we still need to achieve to get the work completed. #LisaSmartMP #constituency #community #support #trains #accessible

I want the Department of Health and Social Care to ensure contracts drawn up by telecare services provided by local authority-connected bodies comply with consumer protection legislation, data protection legislation, and do not disadvantage vulnerable clients.
