Survey

Steve Barclay listening to local residents.

Tell Steve Barclay what matters most to you.

I believe the job of an MP is to work hard for the whole constituency not just those who support you, and as such am keen to hear from as many constituents as possible.

The Government also says circumstances have changed on other issues since the General Election - whether on pensioners winter fuel allowance, the £2 bus fare cap, agricultural property relief, or national insurance paid by businesses. I recognise some people chose not to vote at the last election, and I am keen to hear from you too.

Whether you supported me or another candidate at the General Election, or did not vote at all, please take a few minutes to complete my survey and let me know your views.

A new community diagnostic centre in Wisbech providing checks, tests and scans has opened and thanks to the Pharmacy First scheme people can get treatment locally for more common illnesses. Looking ahead we need to ensure new hospitals that have been funded and confirmed for King's Lynn and Hinchingbrooke are completed by 2030.
Recently a £17 million upgrade to the Guyhirn Roundabout and a £32 million upgrade for the King's Dyke crossing have been completed. I’ll work with local leaders to continue to attract more investment in our area, building on the £20 million secured for Wisbech and £6.4 million for March. Beyond this, I’ll campaign for further upgrades including getting the A47 dualled.
A £3.2 million state of the art skills centre in Chatteris that will help 130 students a year has recently been built, a 60 place specialist school has opened in Wisbech, and funding secured for a £23 million secondary school in Wisbech and a special school in March. Looking ahead we need more high- quality apprenticeships available locally and I will continue my Read to Succeed literacy campaign.
Over £2 million has been invested in the arts in Fenland since 2019 and two leading local groups have up to £200,000 available every year till 2026. A new 3G floodlit football pitch opened in Leverington in 2022, and a full size pitch at Wisbech St Mary will be ready for the 2024 season. In future, I’ll campaign for more funding for sports facilities to open, including in Whittlesey, and support the upgrade of the Angles Theatre.
I’ll continue to back Whittlesey Town Council in tackling waste issues at Saxon Pit, fight proposals for the Wisbech incinerator, and oppose the installation of pylons for the Grimsby to Walpole National Grid upgrade in Fenland. I’ll also support a new reservoir in the Fens provided it delivers the proposed benefits for local people.
As Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs I backed farmers and rural businesses nationally by increasing the amount of support available to boost productivity and adopt the latest technology whilst also taking care of nature. I’ll continue to work to ensure farmers and rural businesses have the support they need.
