My driving passion when first elected as your Member of Parliament in 2010 was our young people.
Our town's future is contingent upon the success of future generations. That's why I have lobbied hard to improve local schools - both in their facilities and academic success. Our children need the very best education to succeed in life
The progress we have made is astounding.
92% of schools in Bournemouth West are now good or outstanding.
We've seen three school rebuilds - St. Aldhelm's, Bourne and Oak Academies - supported by Government. This is tens of millions of pounds of investment locally.
Not only will these improvements benefit our current young people, but many future generations to come.
I will endeavour to build on our success further should you re-elect me as your Member of Parliament.
