The Borough of Swindon is set within a beautiful landscape, and ever since first becoming Member of Parliament here in South Swindon back in 2010, I have worked hard alongside local residents to protect that landscape and the scenic beauty of the North Wessex Downs Area of Natural Beauty (AONB).
Since my Independent Report into Autism and Employment was published at the end of February, there has been a huge amount of interest and support for its findings.
Last week I was very pleased to join Rail Minister, Huw Merriman MP on a visit to Swindon Station. The Minister visited the team at Network Rail and came to see the station facilities here in Swindon for himself, as well as hearing representations about how we can improve Swindon Station.
Following the announcement yesterday, that the Hospice Debate was to be rearranged in Parliament, Sir Robert Buckland MP has issued the following statement:
Recess is always a welcome opportunity to spend even more time at home in Swindon working in my constituency, as I have done for many years now. In fact, my work here in Swindon began around twenty years ago, and I have been working hard ever since!
I met with Rail Minster, Huw Merriman MP to ask for improvements to Swindon Station, including more access for the station, better car parking facilities and more competitive rail fares.
