I know that 2011 has been a very tough year for many people in Bromley & Chislehurst and I hope that the festive period has given everyone a chance to recharge their batteries and prepare for the challenges and opportunities that 2012 will bring.
Despite extremely tight financial constraints, the Government will be doing its utmost to help reward hardworking families and individuals, whilst protecting those in severe need. For my part, I will be working on our ambitions efforts to devolve power downward to local people and the new Local Government Finance Bill will be central to this process. Alongside this, of course, I will continue to campaign on behalf of my constituents and ensure that their voice is heard in Westminster. As ever, please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can help you with any problems, address any issues or answer any questions.
I wish everyone a successful New Year and the very best of luck keeping those New Year’s resolutions!
