Working for PortsmouthWelcome to my website. This is a website where you can contribute your comments and find out more about me and what I am up to in Portsmouth. I am hoping to use as little paper as possible because in an ideal world it would be good to have a paperless campaign, but I am aware that not everyone has access to email so you will be receiving the occasional leaflet through the door. However, I will update this website frequently so please visit it often to find out what is going on or where you can meet me.
I have given up work to become a full time parliamentary candidate and, I hope, a full time Member of Parliament and I will have no other paid responsibilities or jobs while I perform that role. So let me know what is happening in your patch and if you want me or a Conservative councillor to come and sort things out.
We are all facing difficult economic times, many businesses are struggling and local people are losing their jobs. Research shows that the best way to find another job is through friends, family or social networks. We are setting up a Job Club which will help people expand their network of contacts whilst also acting as a support group. ![]() Come along to the Portsmouth Job Support Club
The Portsmouth Job Support Club will meet each week at an easily accessible City centre venue. Come along and share in each other's job-hunting and career experiences and encourage each other in the quest for a new job. Guest speakers will offer advice on interview technique, CV and cover letter writing, presentation skills, networking skills and volunteering opportunities. Please contact Flick Drummond to book a free place, or phone
The credit crunch is beginning to affect our small businesses and I am out on the streets with a survey to find out exactly how they are getting on. If you are a small business please complete the online survey. If you are not, there is a residents' survey which is coming up with interesting statistics. I am also handing out some information on rate rebates for small businesses and you can find out more out this at www.conservatives.com/smallshops Conservatives have also called for a package of measures to help the economy and local businesses:
We must support our local businesses and make sure that this Christmas is successful for them.
The biggest cheer went to Tony Adams who had just taken over as manager and we wish him well. I was really excited to be so near to all the famous footballers and have made my children very envious.
The Conservatives are interested in hearing what YOU think about various issues, both local and national. We've created a new section on surveys so that you can express your own thoughts and let us know what topics you care about. Click here to see our first survey, aimed at small businesses.
