Local Councillors Support Campaign to Extend Zone 6
** ([link removed])
At a meeting of the Full Council on Wednesday, Elmbridge Councillors from all parties finally backed the campaign to extend Zone 6 to all stations in Esher and Walton constituency.

I plan to meet with representatives from Transport for London, South Eastern Railway and Network Rail to discuss this and my wider campaign to improve local rail services in the New Year.

If you are a constituent, there is still time to add your name to the petition to extend Zone 6.

Welcoming Wemms Education Centre to Parliament
** ([link removed])
It was great to welcome A-Level politics students from Wemms Education Centre based in Long Ditton to Parliament.

The pupils had a tour of the Parliamentary Estate, which was followed by a Q&A in one of the committee rooms.

Questions ranged from my role as Justice Secretary, to how Parliament works and the function of Select Committees. It was inspiring to see the level of interest and engagement amongst the students.

A big thanks to Ms Kelly, Mr Mitchell, Mr Budd, Mr Branfoot and the A Level Government and Politics class at Wemms for your excellent questions.

Celebrating Small Business Saturday
** ([link removed])
There are some terrific local shops and businesses across Esher and Walton constituency.

On Small Business Saturday last week, I caught up with some of them recently to hear how business is going and to help promote some of our excellent local retailers.

I met many local residents making the most of our high streets in the run up to Christmas. It was great to see people giving local businesses their support on Small Business Saturday and over the festive period.

Meeting Esher Citizens' Advice

Thank you to Sarah Waite and the team at Esher CAB for updating me on the great work they are doing to support people in Esher, particularly in light of the cost of living pressures.

I work closely with the CAB on a wide range of issues affecting residents across Esher and Walton constituency.

Claygate Christmas Lights

Thank you to the Claygate Village Association and all involved in organising this year's event.

The evening also supported fantastic local causes such as Claygate Youth Club, which was raising funds by selling cookies and hot chocolate.
