Fleur's promises from her website.  Going to be tough to deliver any of those National pledges in opposition.  I hope she focuses on the local issues and works well with the local council and Mayor's office: The issues that matter to you STOP BREXIT AND REMAIN IN THE EU I voted remain and support the People’s Vote. I will vote for Remain in all circumstances.
SAVE THE NHS After 9 years of Conservative-Lib Dem under-funding, our NHS is under threat. Labour will train 5,000 more doctors and cut GP and operation waiting times. Free prescriptions and free personal care in the home for the elderly.
CLIMATE ACTION We have done too little for too long. I will take urgent action to cut carbon emissions. I'm a cyclist and vegetarian, but individual action isn't enough - we need Labour's national policies on green jobs, zero carbon homes and transport. I will demand clean air zones for our high streest and schools and safer cycling routes.
NO TO HEATHROW I was at the High Court recently as part of the action to stop Heathrow expansion. Flights will be doubled. The noise is already unbearable and the carbon emissions damage our health, our wildlife and the planet.
HOUSING Build more social and affordable housing, continue to campaign for a better deal for Roehampton from the Alton Regeneration and end ‘no fault evictions’ for renters. Labour will end rough sleeping.
SCHOOLS AND CHILDRENS SERVICES Bring back Sure Start to support young families and invest in our schools. Our school budgets are running on empty and struggling children are losing out the most. Labour will reverse the school cuts and scrap student fees.Putney needs a Labour MP who will fight for the issues you care about in Parliament. I'm passionate about building a fairer, more equal society. 
SAVE OUR SHOPS Labour will stop the blight of empty shops by giving Councils the powers to reopen shops after 12 months. We must revitalise our High Streets and parades with more shops for community uses to keep our High Streets alive.
LISTEN TO LOCAL RESIDENTS  As a local councillor I hold regular surgeries and also go out and hold pop-up surgeries. I'm also always out and about meeting people, getting involved in local campaigns and being very responsive. I've be the same as your MP and make sure that I know local views and represent them in Westminster.
