Zac accounts to residents

Zac Goldsmith MP has published Spring Newsletter to Residents which you can find on his website. Zac is a very active MP, as his report testifies. His activities of particular interest to North Kingston residents include:

  • Countless exchanges with Ministers and Officials to press for a new school in North Kingston.
  • Campaigning for the Government to rethink its proposals to introduce a cap on charitable giving.
  • Working for the introduction of a mechanism for voters to ditch their representatives if needed.
  • Continuing to campaign against Heathrow night flights between 11pm and 6am.
  • Speaking out against the proposed National Planning Reforms which were also opposed by the National Trust: he campaigned for specific changes which were taken on board.
  • Supporting the Government's apprenticeships programme which has created more apprenticeships in the UK than ever before.
  • Calling on the Government to introduce measures to improve cycling conditions.
  • Supporting the planned 'Super-sewer' which will bring the capital's Victorian sewers back into the 21st century.
  • Supporting the Greener upon Thames campaign for a plastic bag free Olympics; plastic bags will only be permitted if they can be widely recycled.
  • Supporting the temporary move of Christ Church CE School to the adjacent playing fields, which will be restored once the school is rebuilt, necessary and unavoidable because of the state of the current facilities.
  • Supporting residents' efforts to contest an alchohol licence for Kingston Arena, which he believes will have a negative impact on the local community.

Excellent doorstep support in #CoombeVale for Boris - apart from the woman who likes Boris but blames Cameron for the hosepipe ban.

@janemcqueen: Their actions are tantamount to terrorism, and they should be treated as such”. No, @Greenpeace are not the terrorists...

Your Opinion

Adrian, Lynne & Julie think we need a new primary school in New Malden. What do you think?
