Sam Carling MP 🌹
Member of Parliament for North West Cambridgeshire
- On the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we remember those who gave everything to secure our peace and freedom. I'm honoured to be spending today at RAF Wittering – it’s a privilege to represent an area where this legacy is so deeply felt. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. #VEDay80
- Great to welcome the Chancellor Rachel Reeves to Wittering today! We spoke with residents on doorsteps across the village about Labour’s Plan for Change and the need to fix local infrastructure – and I discussed the much-needed A1 flyover with Rachel as well.
- Yesterday, I welcomed the Secretary of State for Transport @heidialexander.bsky.social to North West Cambridgeshire, where we had a great discussion with local campaigners about the importance of rural bus services.
- Too many residents feel unsafe due to off-road bikes being ridden dangerously on pavements & footpaths. This is especially worrying for older people & those with mobility issues. I’m glad Labour is taking this seriously, giving police stronger powers to crack down on this menace.
- 🚍 Great to see Labour’s progress on bus reform across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough – making public transport more affordable and accessible for local people. cambridgeshirepeterborough-ca.gov.uk/news/new-mil...
- ✅ Nearly 40,000 Tiger Passes issued, cutting fares for under-25s ✅ Over 800,000 journeys taken so far ✅ New Tiger on Demand services improving rural connections ✅ Plans for full bus franchising moving forward
- These changes have been championed by Anna Smith as Deputy Mayor, and with her leading the way, we can continue building a bus network that works for everyone! 🚏
- Great to meet with NHS staff to discuss how we can improve services and build a health service fit for the future. Thank you to everyone who shared their insights, and to the DHSC for organising!
- Promise made. Promise kept. 🚑 Labour has delivered 2 million extra NHS appointments in just five months - seven months ahead of schedule ✅
- We’ve ended NHS strikes, invested in more evening & weekend clinics, and made sure people get the care they need when they need it. This is the difference a Labour government makes. 🌹
- 🚍 Labour is putting passengers first 🚍 The Combined Authority’s decision to introduce bus franchising is great news for passengers across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough. For too long, private operators have prioritised profits over reliability - leaving communities stranded.
- This is the difference Labour makes: ✅ Routes and timetables that work for passengers ✅ More reliable services ✅ Fairer, integrated fares across the network This is a huge step towards a better, more affordable public transport system. 🚏
- Leprosy continues to impact millions globally, with harmful stigmas and discriminatory laws persisting in some countries. I’m proud that The Leprosy Mission, based here in North West Cambridgeshire, are leading the way in raising awareness and fighting for change.
- I’m glad to hear the Chief Secretary agree that the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor will bring opportunities to the whole region - including Peterborough. With the right infrastructure in place, we can harness our city’s expertise to drive more good jobs and affordable housing.
- Today, the Chancellor confirmed a major package of investment to support infrastructure, transport, and economic growth across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough - laying the groundwork for future growth and opportunity in the region.
- I'm astonished that the Conservative candidate to be our next Mayor has spent today trashing this investment in our county. We need politicians that will genuinely work together to deliver.
- I’ve just voted to support the Water (Special Measures) Bill. After 14 years of Conservative failure, @teamlabouruk.bsky.social are cleaning up our rivers, lakes and seas 🌊
- 🏥 Labour are delivering on healthcare! 🏥 The New Hospital Programme review has green-lit a RAAC scheme at Hinchingbrooke Hospital, replacing unsafe concrete and modernising facilities. A win for patients across the region, including in our constituency.
