I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a very happy New Year! The arrival of the new year is a time for optimism, and I am excited for the year ahead. I will continue working hard for all Chelsea and Fulham residents and I look forward to further improving our fantastic local area. I have a track record of delivery and promise of more in 2024! I look forward to hearing from you over the next year or seeing you across Chelsea and Fulham.
Greg Hands has welcomed extra support with the cost of housing for 111,000 households across London, as part of the Conservative Government’s targeted cost of living measures to support those most in need.
Greg Hands has welcomed a tax cut for 4,320,000 people in London thanks to the long-term decisions taken by the Conservative Government at the Autumn Statement for Growth.

In response to Transport for London’s (TfL) proposal to install westbound and eastbound bus lanes on the Chelsea Embankment, which would halve capacity on the Embankment and hugely impact traffic congestion, I have launched a petition to Keep Chelsea Moving! This week, I also organised a useful meeting with Felicity Buchan MP, Minister in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and Chelsea Reach houseboat owners.
It is a privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament. We are one of the most vibrant and active constituencies in the country and this is because of the people who live and work across Chelsea & Fulham. I am starting to look ahead to 2024. Every single vote is going to count to get Tony Devenish re-elected as our GLA member, Susan Hall as our new Conservative London Mayor and there is also the small matter of a General Election to fight.
This week I attended the memorial service of the late Earl Cadogan. He was a lifelong Chelsea resident and dedicated his life to improving our local area, through the Cadogan Estate. One moving tribute to him at the service recounted how “his vision for Chelsea was for it to be the best place to live in London”. Who could say he didn’t succeed?
