I voted Remain so I understand how many Putney residents feel. Residents (whether they voted Remain or Leave) are telling me that the country needs to move on and I agree with them. Further delay and confusion for another referendum will threaten local livelihoods and worsen divides in our communities.
I'd pass the Prime Minister's deal so that we can focus on major issues that matter locally, like the environment, crime, transport, high streets, the NHS, schools and homes. I'd use my experience working for the Foreign Office to bring sensible views to Parliament, protecting local livelihoods and the security of us and our European allies

I'd vote Remain in all circumstances.
Putney voted 74% Remain and so this stance will sit well with the majority of constituents. Revoking Article 50 is anti-democratic, MPs can't agree and so we need a second referendum to settle this. Remaining in the EU is in the best interests of all residents, and particularly our children and grandchildren. The trade deal we have with the world's biggest trade block is excellent and crucial to British jobs, British business success, and British public services. But more importantly Britain needs to continue to take a leading role in the EU so we protect democracy, strengthen our mutual security and shape what happens on our continent for decades to come.

I want to save the environment starting here in Putney, Southfields and Roehampton.
The Mayor of London has a lot to answer for on Putney High Street. It is his polluting buses and his failure to address the impact of the Hammersmith Bridge closure that is causing problems. I have a track record successfully negotiating with Transport for London on local roads, so as our MP I would be straight in to see the Mayor to get electric buses on to the High Street.
I'm also a fan of Positively Putney's proposals to do deliveries such as rubbish collection by bike. I successfully got money from the Future High Streets Fund for Putney, so as our MP I would get this spent on more greenery to soak up pollution and public squares to offer some respite. I've met local landlords to discuss options and am ready to deliver.

Air pollution is damaging the health of everyone in Putney. We need effective action to improve air pollution across London as these will have most impact – as well as specifically on Putney High Street. We must have better measurement of air quality and I'd set up a public policy commission with residents, green NGO's and local businesses to develop policies to improve Putney's air and improve Putney High Street. I'd argue for measures that limit the most polluting traffic, and adds us to the Mayor of London's Healthy Streets Programme.
I will continue to work with the Mayor who launched the low emission zone on the High Street which has resulted in a considerable decrease - but we must do more.
Last year the council received £780,000 from vehicle fines in the yellow box at Lacy Road, and yet is not spending enough on air quality action and High Street improvements. Instead, there has been some very minimal change to the pavements, which is a waste of money.
Air quality action must not stop at the High Street and I would also work with the council and government to introduce more clean air zones around schools, school streets and action on West Hill and other roads with high levels of pollution.

All A&E waiting times are too high and other local hospitals' A&E waiting times have a knock-on effect. NHS figures show one in six patients waiting longer than four hours in A&E last month – the worst on record. Its not just A&E waiting times – it is other treatments and GPs as well. Latest figures show that in the UK 4.4m patients are waiting longer than the 18 week limit for treatment and NHS staff are working a staggering one millions hours of unpaid overtime each week, to help the NHS cope with its chronic under-staffing.
Labour has pledged a £26bn real terms increase in NHS funding, in a package which includes the recruitment of 24,000 extra nurses and expanding GP training places to 5000, to create 27 million more appointments with family doctors and reverse the cuts to children's mental health services.
We need to invest more into our NHS but also protect it from being sold off to American insurance firms as part of Boris Johnson's trade deal with Donald Trump.

Absolutely. Yes.
Police numbers started being cut ten years ago by the Conservative-LibDem Government and that's continued to this day. People deserve to be safe.
We need many more police on the streets and that's what Labour will do.

I know what it's like to rent and struggle to get on the housing ladder, so I've always worked to deliver more homes for local residents. When I was Planning Chairman we had the highest number of new homes in London, and our record on affordable homes was one of the best. I'm really proud that we won architectural awards too, because it's vital that new buildings fit in and work for existing residents.
Housing is a London-wide problem and it needs a London-wide solution. The Mayor of London has not helped matters by delaying schemes and making it much harder for developers to build the affordable homes local residents need. As our MP, I would be working to make sure that Putney, Southfields and Roehampton residents can move on and up the housing ladder. That means getting the Mayor of London moving and helping the government put pressure on developers to build better homes.

The housing crisis affects almost every family in Putney: children growing up in overcrowded unsuitable conditions, young people starting out but unable to get on the property ladder, and increased levels of homelessness. The average house price in Southfields is £660,000. Young people now graduate with huge student debt, and are reliant on the ‘bank of Mum and Dad' (if they are lucky) to have a hope of owning their own home. We need homes that are affordable for first time buyers – not more luxury investment flats.
We also need more council houses. The Alton Estate Regeneration which will cost the council £108 million, take 10 years of building but will only result in an additional 30 social and affordable homes (224 homes) with the vast majority being private homes (847 homes). I have listened to local resident's concern and led a campaign for a better deal from the regeneration, which has resulted in Sadiq Khan asking the council to think again. I will keep campaigning with Roehampton residents for at least 100 additional council homes in the regeneration.
Meanwhile, when he was Mayor of London, Boris Johnson built more homes for overseas investors than genuinely affordable homes for Londoners. We need a housing programme that puts people first.

The rush hour misery of boarding trains here is ignored by South Western Rail and Transport for London in transport assessments. I have a track record of successful negotiations with Transport for London and I'd put this to good use to get them to sort this out. That means more trains stopping at Putney plus improved alternative options, including a more reliable and regular District Line for Southfields and East Putney and new transport for Roehampton.
Overcrowding is made worse by the single entrance to Putney Station. It means fewer people use the interchange with East Putney, which makes trains busier and stops people using the length of the platforms. I've successfully got initial funding for a second entrance from Oxford Road. Last week I took the Chancellor of the Exchequer on to the platform to discuss how we can get Network Rail and South Western Rail pulling together on this, with government support.
If you elect me, I'm ready to deliver this.

More trains, more frequency of trains and more carriages. London's population is increasing so we need to invest in better, greener transport and better transport infrastructure. On the District line, new signalling is going in across the whole line leading to increased capacity and reliability and I will monitor these closely to ensure they are delivered.
The unreliability and frequent cancellation of South Western Trains shows the failure of the train franchise system - commuter lines should come under control of the Mayor and TfL as soon as possible and end commuter misery. I will work with the Mayor's office to achieve this. Anything less is just a sticking plaster on a broken system.
I also think making cycling safer and new greener technologies such as electric bicycles and scooters will increase the offer for more people to use other transport and that's another important means of cutting congestion.
On another train issues, I will campaign for the second entrance to Putney Station.

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is a necessary action to address the public health emergency caused by pollution. I went to the recent Putney Society meeting at which we were shocked to hear the impact of pollution on children's lungs – permanently reducing each lung by the size of an egg by the time they are eight years old. We have seen what happens when the Mayor rid the High St of the most polluting buses.
The ULEZ won't split the borough in two because it is not a blanket charge for everyone and most cars won't be affected. By the time of the launch in October 2021, four out of five vehicles going in and out of the expanded zone won't pay a penny as they will be ULEZ compliant vehicles. Also there is a scrappage scheme for low income Londoners and businesses. Transport for London has signalled the changes really early so that people can adjust and change their diesel for a petrol car, join a car club or get rid of their car. The clean air benefits will come to the whole of Putney and won't just stop at the limit of the zone.

Growing up in this special area, I never imagined I’d have the honour of standing to be your MP. Wandsworth is where I went to school, got my first job and met my partner.
I’ve found it inspiring listening to ordinary Putney parents that are aspirational for their families, just like my parents were for my brother and me here over 35 years ago. I want our area to be the best place to raise a family and I’ll make sure residents’ children will be able to afford to buy a home here.
I’m passionate about tackling the climate emergency, starting by making our area carbon neutral by 2030. I’ve been part of the legal fight against Heathrow expansion since 2014 and have no intention of giving up.
Our communities need more reliable, accessible transport and more vibrant high streets. I’ll use my negotiating experience with Transport for London and I have plans to improve Putney High Street, Southfields village and Danebury Avenue.
Knife crime destroys lives. I’ve spoken with the Chief Superintendent about muggings targeted at schoolchildren. I’ll get our share of 20,000 more police and stop people getting into gangs.
I was brought up to act with integrity and think of others. I’d like to champion our area to give everyone the best chance of making a success of their lives. I’ll get things done and stand up for you. I have a strong track record delivering for Putney, Southfields and Roehampton as a Cabinet Member at Wandsworth Council and I’d like to continue it in Parliament.

In a sentence - Stop Heathrow expansion, cleaner breathable air, safer streets, inclusive and just society for all Putney residences and make sure we have a workable free health care system that looks after both patients and staff.
