a note from Tom...
This is a place for me to share with you the work that I've been doing, both in our community and in Parliament.
Tonbridge, Edenbridge, and the North Downs Villages are a beautiful part of Kent, rich in history and natural beauty, and I am incredibly proud to represent the people who live here.
I have fought for you on issues that affect our community, including reducing aircraft noise, improving our train services, and boosting broadband and mobile phone signal in rural areas.
I value the fact that I am able to have an open conversation with residents, so please do reach out and contact me if you have any questions or issues that you’d like my assistance with. I am always here to help you.
Tom’s Community Survey
I am determined to make sure our community remains a great place to live and we have better services and value for money.
To do that I need your views and what you think of our priorities. That’s why I’d be grateful if you could take 5 minutes of your time to let me know what matters to you.

What's happening in Tonbridge, Edenbridge, and North Downs Villages?
tonbridge water supply
Towards the end of January, much of Tonbridge and the surrounding area went days without water following failures by South East Water. That’s not good enough.
I’ve written to its CEO detailing the issues we had that week and what we expect them to do to resolve them, which you can see below.
Leigh Flood barrier
Over the last 9 years I have helped to make our homes safer from flooding by getting millions to boost the Leigh Flood Storage Area.
The Leigh Flood Storage Area protects many of us across Tonbridge, Hildenborough, Hadlow, and many surrounding villages.
Thousands of homes are safer from flooding and better protected, it will also help East Peckham and Golden Green too.
I will continue to work hard to ensure that our towns and villages are protected against the risks and dangers of flooding.
Supporting local business
Our community is full of fantastic businesses. We celebrated some of these at the Tonbridge Business Awards, hosted by the TN Card. Congratulations to all the winners.
Whether small businesses keeping our economy going, or national brands investing in our towns and villages, investment in jobs helps make our community what it is today.
In Tonbridge I’ve been working closely with one of those national brands, Sainsbury’s, and with Tonbridge Conservatives our ‘3 Years Empty is Plenty’ campaign has resulted in plans for a near £20million investment in the former Beales unit.
I hope work will begin very soon. This will transform the centre of Tonbridge and will deliver a better shopping experience for us all.
I’m determined to see this through to the end. But I need your support to do so. I will continue to work closely with business to help sustain and regenerate our towns and villages.
