I have been campaigning for improved station accessibility at local train stations across Esher and Walton constituency.
I am pleased to see that progress is underway at Walton Station to build a new footbridge with lifts. The main works will be taking place over the Christmas period to limit disruption as much as possible, with the bridge hopefully in full service by Spring 2023.
You can see above the first artistic impression of what it will look like once complete!

Thank you to all the pupils across Esher and Walton constituency for taking the time to enter my Christmas Card Competition this year. I have been amazed by the artistic talent displayed in all the entries.

Planting Flowers for Esher in Bloom
There was a great community spirit in Esher, as we came together to plant flowers to brighten up the High Street for Esher in Bloom next Spring.
Thank you to all the volunteers, including pupils from Esher High School and Cranmere Primary School.
Well done to organisers, Amanda Manship, Roger McCormick and Lucy Roshier.
Commemorating Remembrance Day in Esher and Walton
It was an honour to join residents from our local community in both Cobham and Walton to mark Remembrance Day.
In Cobham, I was joined by Councillors Alistair Mann, David Lewis and Alan Parker. Thank you to St Andrew’s Rector, Mike Branscombe, and the Royal British Legion for organising the service.
On Remembrance Sunday, there was a great turnout at Walton War Memorial for the moving service arranged by Rev Johnny Blair and Joanna Gordon from WOTTA.
Imber Court Boxing Show
Last Saturday night, Imber Court put on a cracking boxing show with great performances from all the boxers, in particular the Foley ABC fighters.
Amateur boxing shows like this raise vital funds for grassroots clubs across the country.
Well done to all involved - it was a good night of boxing!
