Thank you ðŸ™
Posted on 2nd Dec 2018 by Beth Miller in Campaigning
A huge thank you to the wonderful The Labour Party members in Corby and East Northamptonshire for their donations to the local night shelter and foodbank. I’ve dropped off all the bedding and food today and know the difference it’ll make to lots of people this winter.

In early October I spoke to the Chair of Pubwatch about the number of burglaries on local pubs. It’s estimated there’s been 50 since August. 😯

Remembrance Sunday
Posted on 17th Nov 2018 by Beth Miller in Campaigning
There was such a big crowd today at Corby’s Rememberance service, perhaps the biggest I’ve seen, as we commemorated 100 years since the end of the First World War. It was an honour to lay a wreath on behalf of the local Labour Party.

The Tories are slashing funding to Northamptonshire police by £24.8m. When will they learn you can’t protect the public on the cheap?
Love Is Love 💕
Posted on 28th Oct 2018 by Beth Miller in Campaigning
Some people say politicians are all the same. I don’t think that’s the case in this constituency. The MP and I have very different views on major issues from fox hunting to the NHS and environmental protections.

Posted on 19th Oct 2018 by Beth Miller in Campaigning
The bridge has just reopened and I am genuinely so, so, so pleased. This is really good news for people like me who use the bridge regularly and for local small business owners, who I’ve been supporting all year.

Universal Credit - What is our MP hiding?
Posted on 18th Oct 2018 by Beth Miller in Campaigning
I am really disappointed that last night our MP voted to keep the impact assessment of Universal Credit, affecting 7,951 of his own constituents, a secret. He joined 298, mainly Conservative MPs, to win the vote by just 20.

Launching Street Watch! Get Involved!
Posted on 13th Oct 2018 by Beth Miller in Campaigning
Everyone deserves to feel safe in their homes and communities. It's something I feel really strongly about. Street Watch is 'a bit like Neighbourhood Watch but on legs.' It's groups of volunteers, passionate about their area supporting PCSOs and community officers. It's a community patrol initiative that helps you make a difference where you live, just walking around your neighbourhood, which can really help.

Northants Council Councillors met today to decide whether to make a proposal to the Government for a new model of local government here and as a result the Tories in central and local government got the answer they wanted.
