I have served as the Member of Parliament for Bury St Edmunds since 1997. The main towns in the constituency are Bury St Edmunds, Stowmarket and Needham Market and it also includes many villages going as far east from Bury St Edmunds as the A140.
As your MP I have had a very simple principle: to take on anybody in authority - whether it be in Whitehall, Westminster, the County Council, the Borough Council, the District Council, the bus companies, the rail companies, the water companies or, indeed, any other utility on behalf of my constituents. I like to get things done!
