It has been nearly two weeks since I had the privilege of being re-elected as your MP for Tatton.

I want to take this opportunity again to thank everyone who put their trust in me, and to promise - as I have always done - to continue representing everyone in the constituency regardless of whether or not they voted for me.

Being an MP is an honour and it is something I have always taken very seriously.
This week the new Prime Minister will set out his government's legislative programme for this parliamentary session and I, along with my Conservative colleagues, will do our constitutional duty of holding him to account.

Keir Starmer is in No. 10 with the weakest of mandates he polled fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn in 2019 and turnout was the second lowest in history at 60 per cent - and yet now boasts a massive Parliamentary majority.

I will always make sure the voices of Tatton residents are heard in Westminster.
I have grave concerns over Labour's planning proposals.

In her first speech as Chancellor, Rachel Reeves has fired the starting gun on a process that could see vast swathes of protected greenbelt recategorised as 'greybelt' allowing it to be built on more easily.

I will do everything I can to protect precious greenbelt sites - which are important to our local communities in Tatton - from inappropriate development.

Other ongoing issues I will continue fighting for are better broadband, ensuring our roads are repaired and resurfaced, and improving our local transport links and services among other things.

One of the first meetings I have called for since being re-elected is with Labour run Cheshire East Council.

I have long raised concerns over the appalling financial management and during the election campaign more worrying information came to light.

Having only just consulted on and brought in changes to library services, Cheshire East are consulting again on library services which would result in Alderley Edge and Handforth only being open one and a half days a week.

At the same time the council is also talking about reducing bin collections to every three weeks which will affect everyone across the area.
Constituents are rightly concerned and I will update residents once I hear more.

As part of the boundary changes, we also welcome in new residents to the Tatton constituency, from Lymm and the villages of Sutton Weaver, Dutton and Aston.

I will be getting out and about meeting people and businesses in those areas, as well as the rest of Tatton as I re-start my regular Q&A sessions.

As I have said before, one of the best things about being an MP is the opportunity to meet people, visit charities, businesses and events, along with schools and I look forward to resuming all of these activities now and hope to see as many of you as possible in the coming weeks and months.

As always, if anyone needs my help, or just want to meet to discuss any issues of concern, please contact me on officeofesthermcveymp@parliament.uk or 01625 529922.
