Greg Hands MP & Tony Devenish AM call for Hammersmith Bridge to be taken over by Transport for London.
After five years, it is clear that the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham has no genuine desire to reopen the Bridge.
Greg Hands MP will be working to help Partridges revive the historic Chelsea Bun.
The Chelsea Bun has fallen out of fashion in recent years but has more than a 300 year history in central London, having been first baked at the Chelsea Bun House in the early eighteenth century.
This week, Greg kickstarted a joint campaign with Partridges to revive the Chelsea Bun, gaining significant media coverage. The Chelsea Bun was first baked in the Chelsea Bun House more than 200 years ago. To find out more, click the link below.
My week has been a busy and varied one. Next to my Ministerial visits and meetings and engagements in the House of Commons, I have been out and about in the constituency, working hard for local residents. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Partridges on Duke of York Square to meet the owner - a real treat! I also went on patrol with senior officers from the Metropolitan Police in Bishops Park and south Fulham to discuss recent resident concerns - more on this below.
On Thursday, 7 March 2024, the MP for Chelsea and Fulham and Minister of State for Trade Policy, Greg Hands MP, responded to Department for Business and Trade oral questions in the House of Commons.
Having returned from the World Trade Organisation's 13th ministerial conference, it was straight back to constituency business for me this week. I spoke to our local Met Police officers in Fulham about recent crime incidences and went on to meet residents in Munster ward.
I am writing to you today about the new rules governing overseas electors. From now on, British citizens living abroad will (in almost all cases) be able to vote in UK parliamentary elections. Previously, this right ended after 15 years living outside the UK. This meant that hundreds of thousands of Britons abroad were often unable to vote in either their country of residence or in the UK.
Recently, I met up with Education Secretary Gillian Keegan to discuss education and schools in Chelsea & Fulham. We also talked about Labour's un-costed and short-sighted plans to introduce a new 20% tax on parents of children attending independent schools. This would have a significant impact on ALL children's education.
