It was great to hear about the issues affecting residents of Isleham at my open meeting recently.
Participants echoed some of the issues I have heard from other constituents across the constituency:
Access to NHS dentistry
I know that this remains a challenge, but the Government's new NHS Dental Recovery Plan will deliver 2.5 million NHS dental appointments over the next year, while Cambridgeshire NHS dentistry has just received an additional £6.1 million investment from the Government to extend services
SEND provision
Support for those with SEND is an issue of great importance to many of my constituents and it is one close to my heart. £49 million of revenue funding and £11.3 million of capital funding has recently been invested into our area's SEND provision by the Government, which will help more children to receive the tailored work they need to thrive
Bus travel
I continue to press the Combined Authority Mayor, as the transport leader for our area, to announce his plans to spend the new £2.3 million for Cambridgeshire's bus network. I have also called on Stephensons of Essex to add Isleham to the No.112 bus route, which is under consideration
