On a sunny Saturday afternoon, Matthew was delighted to attend the West Hendon Residents’ Association community fun day.

Matthew has been pressing the Government for a change to the Children’s Act 1989 to give the child a right in law to have a relationship with their grandparents and other members of their extended family.

Matthew has taken advantage during Parliament's summer recess to meet with environmental pressure group Surfers Against Sewage to discuss the amount of untreated sewage that is discharged into our coastal waters. 

Matthew joined Hendon constituents who were amongst hundreds of people coming together from across London to celebrate Indian Independence Day.

Matthew has written to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government asking that he reviews the Mayor of London's decision to allow the construction of 844 homes on the former Pentavia Retail Park site between the A1 and the M1 in Mill Hill.

Matthew was pleased to accompany the Mayor of Barnet, Councillor Caroline Stock, other councillors, local ramblers and members of the public at the launch of Barnet Council’s Heritage Walks.

Matthew was honoured to attend one of Middlesex University's 2019 graduation ceremonies.

Matthew has slammed the decision by the Mayor of London to allow the construction of 844 homes on the former Pentavia Retail Park site between the A1 and the M1 in Mill Hill.

Matthew has warmly welcomed Boris Johnson as the new leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Boris is a well-known and popular figure in the Hendon constituency where, as Mayor of London, he visited Edgware, Burnt Oak and Mill Hill as well as Hendon.
