When we say "campaigning all year round" we mean it!

Yesterday I was out and about in Roehampton with my campaign team, and despite the bitter weather we got a warm reception.

I was concerned about the council's neglect of the paths and roads on the estate, especially as the Alton was built on some pretty steep slopes. And even if you think it's understandable that not every path on the estate has been cleared of ice - as I do - it isn't acceptable that steps haven't, which ought to be a much more achievable aim for the housing department.

Plenty of new year casework to take up including the case of a council tenant whose window was smashed in a burglary last October and which the council still hasn't repaired.

I'm pictured discussing some of those issues with Sean Lawless who grew up on the Alton estate. Sean's been an important part of my campaign team since last spring and is an example of how my campaign is getting the local community involved - not just dumping outsiders on Roehampton as the Conservatives have a track record of doing.
