Neil is making progress with our plan for Solihull West & Shirley.
1. Championing Our Communities: Safer, Stronger, and Supported
From the streets of Shirley to the villages on our rural edge, our community deserves to feel safe, valued, and well-served. That is why I am fighting to secure our local police station, tackle knife crime head-on, and ensure young people understand the dangers and make better choices. I am standing up for winter fuel payments, protecting our most vulnerable, and backing the volunteers, carers, and local champions who keep Solihull West & Shirley strong. This is a place built on neighbourly values — and I will never stop working to protect them.
2. Putting Patients First: A Healthcare System That Works for Solihull
Our NHS is full of brilliant people – but it is under pressure. I am campaigning to secure enhanced emergency services at Solihull Hospital, expand access to local GPs and dentists, and ensure our hospice and care sector has the support it needs. Healthcare must be available when and where people need it – from Haslucks Green to Dickens Heath. Whether you are a pensioner needing regular care or a young family just starting out, you deserve a system that works for you. I will be your voice until it does.
3. Opportunity for All: Backing Young People Across Solihull West & Shirley
Solihull has some of the best schools in the country – but we must ensure every child, no matter their background or ability, gets the same opportunity. I will protect parental choice by opposing VAT on school fees, support families with better SEND provision, and work with local groups to educate young people about knife crime, giving them safer, brighter futures. The next generation deserves a strong advocate – and I will always put their life chances first.
4. Backing Local Growth: Jobs, High Streets, and Our Economy
Solihull is a powerhouse of local enterprise, from independent shops on Shirley High Street to start-ups and small manufacturers. But they need our backing. I am committed to supporting job creation, revitalising our high streets, and delivering better transport links – so getting around does not break the bank. With investment in skills, digital infrastructure, and local enterprise, we can grow a Solihull economy that delivers for every resident – not just those in the town centre.
5. Standing Up for Rural Solihull: Farmers, Fairness, and Connectivity
Parts of our constituency are proudly rural. But, too often, they are overlooked. I will stand up for our farmers, champion rural businesses, and work to improve bus routes and transport access across our outlying communities. I will fight to bring down bills, oppose cuts to essential support, and make sure rural Solihull gets its fair share. Whether you live in Shirley, Solihull Lodge or our villages, I will make sure your voice is heard loud and clear.
