January 2018

I have always prided myself on being Conservative Member of Parliament with a very prominent agricultural and green streak running through my work. It is become increasingly evident that the environment and natural world we live in is beginning to dictate more and more of our policy decisions.

Clear, clean waters teeming with wildlife in a healthy habitat. Sadly that is not the reality where our precious marine habitat is concerned across vast tracts of the globe.

The Conservative Environment Network is an independent organisation which advocates for conservative environmentalism and promotes conservative voices in environmental policymaking.

Rebecca Pow Calls for the Environment and Sustainability to Take Priority

You may be aware that tragically, a pupil at Taunton International School was recently involved in a fatal accident at the crossing on Greenway Road.

Since my election, and indeed prior to being elected in 2015 I have been pushing for improvements to our Transport Infrastructure across Taunton Deane.

The iconic Wellington Monument stands tall on the Blackdown Hills and is clearly visible from all over the Taunton Deane constituency marking the gateway to the South West.

I appreciate how important broadband is to both individuals and businesses and I can assure you that access to superfast broadband is a key priority for this Government. Reliable, fast broadband is now seen as the norm, not a nice-to-have.

I am proud that we are delivering on the manifesto commitment to end the historic postcode lottery that created huge differences in funding between similar schools in different parts of the country.
