Today, I called on the PM to finally give the green light for a new hospital in West Herts 🏥 The last Conservative govt promised it but failed to deliver it - despite my asking close to twenty times. We’re shovel ready: we just need the new govt to give us the go ahead.

We were delighted to welcome a super team of Watford Liberal Democrats councillors to our HQ, to help pack our Warm in Winter gift bags. A huge thank you to everyone for taking the time to visit us and support our work in the local community💜 #StrongerTogether

We can’t wait another decade before the rebuilding of Watford General even starts. Patients and staff deserve so much better. Labour Ministers and MPs need to get on with it and deliver the funding needed for this vital project.

A bit of a soggy session today - out chatting with residents in Oxhey with some of the Watford Lib Dems 🔸🔸 team. Lots of residents are dismayed that Labour have delayed rebuilding Watford General until 2032 at the earliest. You can sign our petition at watfordlibdems.org/our-campaigns/…
