Matthew visited Bhaktivedanta Manor, Shree Swaminarayan Sidhant and Sri Saddhatissa temples this week to visit and speak to devotees and constituents.

Matthew met with a group of Black Cab drivers to listen to their concerns about Uber, the Super Cycle Highway, traffic congestion in London and the future of the taxi industry.

As a keen environmentalist, Matthew likes to take a hands-on approach to improving the local environment.

Matthew was pleased to be present at Jesus House in Brent Cross for a special service with the Prime Minister Theresa May.

For many people in the Hendon constituency, housing remains a problem. In recent years there has been a significant amount of development in Colindale, Edgware, Mill Hill and West Hendon but more properties are still needed. 

Matthew visited the children's Congenital Heart Disease service at the Royal Brompton Hospital in central London. The Department is a world leader in treatment and research but is under threat from a decision made by NHS England to close the service.

Matthew arranged a meeting between the Leader of Barnet Council and traders from across the Hendon constituency to discuss reform of Business Rates.

"The security services have raised the terrorism threat level for the UK to Critical. This means that a further incident is expected in the UK imminently. It does not necessarily mean this is Hendon, Barnet or London. 

"Last night's events have shocked the country. The targeting of young people in a terrorist attack is beyond horrific. Very few of us can imagine what the parents and friends of those who were at the concert are going through and our thoughts must remain with them.

Matthew has slammed Jeremy Corbyn's refusal to condemn IRA violence and murders throughout the troubles in Northern Ireland.
