Welcome to my web site. On this site you can find information about me, my constituency and important local and national issues.

The internet plays an important part in our lives. Most of you will have used the internet to buy goods, check out holidays or find out information. Politics is not immune from the impact of the internet.

As a consequence of new technology, politics has become a lot more interactive; that's why you have this opportunity to e-mail me from this site and to take part in my on-line survey. It has also changed the way we communicate - this site will be updated regularly with press releases, views from Westminster and hot topics.

I hope you enjoy my site - please contact me with any feedback you may have about my site.
