Boris was a great character and was held in genuine affection here. Following in his footsteps will be a tough challenge but I am looking forward to proving my worth.
Many local people have told me they feel our way of life is under threat. This is a beautiful part of England. It saddens me that developers are queuing up to build on local countryside and open spaces. I believe protecting the natural beauty we have around us is one of the most important jobs for our MP.
It's clear that Gordon Brown's Labour Government is out of touch with life here. It really angers me that those in power don't seem to understand that when a local Post Office or a local shop shuts down then part of our community dies.
Local people need to be able to feel safe and secure in their communities with good quality local services. As I write this today I'm taking my party leader Nick Clegg to a local doctor's surgery. They are concerned about new Government plans that could see the end of many traditional doctors surgeries.
As Henley's MP I will be a strong voice for our area putting local people first.
