Yesterday's vote was a historic moment in Britain's history. The people of the United Kingdom democratically decided that - even with the Prime Minister's negotiated deal - they do not want this country to continue to be a member of the European Union.I agreed with that view and voted to leave in order to take back our country.
One of my priorities is a better deal for public transport users. Living locally and using public transport, I am aware of concerns about Thameslink, the Northern line, station access and facilities, cycle routes and bus services.Many residents are frustrated by delays, overcrowding or cancelled services. This can badly affect working lives, recreational activities, holidays and visits to family and friends.
Many residents have been adversely affected since the introduction of the 'Event Day' parking system. When the initial planning application from Saracens was being considered one of my key concerns - which I raised with both Barnet Council and Saracens - was the issue of parking.
I want to help people in Hendon who work hard. We have already cut tax for over 50,000 Hendon residents and I will press for an increase in the tax-free allowance - helping local people to keep their hardearned money.
Living in Hendon, I use local shops regularly. I will press for more measures to support small businessses in our area which are the lifeblood of our communities.
I welcome Barnet Council's consultation on libraries as part of my campaign for positive changes to enhance and improve the library service so that it becomes more attractive to local people who do not currently use libraries.
