I am writing to you regarding the popular M&S on the King's Road in Chelsea. Town Hall planners have now recommended the planning application for the re-development of 81-103 King's Road for approval. Given this news, I have started a campaign to ensure that Marks & Spencer remains in this prominent location on Chelsea’s King’s Road.
This week I was honoured to speak at an event, hosted by developer St. George in Parliament, celebrating 25 years of Imperial Wharf. The Imperial Wharf development is located right at the border between Chelsea and Fulham and I have been involved in this huge project for over 25 years now: First as Hammersmith & Fulham Councillor and from 2005 as the local Member of Parliament.
Greg Hands has welcomed that the next cost of living payment, worth £300 for 10,600 vulnerable and low-income households in Chelsea and Fulham, will be made between 31 October and 19 November 2023.
Last week, I received the very positive news from Post Office Ltd that they have an applicant for the Fulham Post Office. I have been campaigning hard on this local issue – residents need a Post Office. Post Office Ltd have told me that they are now working as quickly as possible with the applicant and I will of course keep residents updated.
This week, it was confirmed the Brunswick Club for Young People will continue to receive council funding. Earlier this year, Labour-run LBHF suddenly cut the club’s funding. Together with local Conservative Councillors I campaigned to have this vital funding re-instated. 2,837 residents signed my petition and the Council have listened to this local protest.
Greg Hands has welcomed the announcement that the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea will receive £130,506 and £83,754 respectively, in Government funding, to help older people and those with disabilities to live safely and independently in their own homes.
Over the summer, I had the pleasure of launching my Summer Survey, seeking your views on local and national issues. I am never complacent about improving our local area, with the main part of my job being campaigning on issues that are important to Chelsea and Fulham residents. I look forward to the upcoming Parliamentary session.
Greg Hands MP had a really worthwhile walkabout with Sgt. Tom Martis-Jones and PC Mark Tims from Hammersmith & Fulham Police.
Greg and the police officers stopped at Stamford Bridge, Fulham Broadway, Eel Brook Common, Wandsworth Bridge Road and Townmead Estate in Fulham.
The Government has announced that schools in England are set to receive the highest ever funding rates.
Funding for schools will total almost £60 billion for 2024-25, more money than ever before is being invested in schools.
Constituents began to feel the impact of the closure of the Wandsworth Bridge, and the devastating impact on other traffic bottlenecks across Fulham and Chelsea. The closure is planned to continue for 10 weeks, creating enormous disruption to those who use the bridge frequently, including those on the 28, C3 and 295 buses, as well as placing further strain across south Fulham.
