Rob visits St Peter's Community Garden

Wonderful community garden at St Peter's Aylesbury in Quarrendon, with lovely vegetables (including courgettes used to make delicious houmous). Impressive commitment to sustainability: pathways are made of recycled carpet tiles. Popular with all ages, there's even a fairy garden for children.

The weekly community cafe in the church is very popular with people on the estate, who were full of praise for the volunteers there. There's also a foodbank to support those struggling with the cost of living, and advice on how to get help with other problems.

Development that benefits everyone

Aylesbury and the nearby villages have seen some of the highest house building in the country. It’s right to create new homes for the next generation. But they must be in the right places, and we must ensure they have the right infrastructure.

Giving children a brilliant start in life

We have some great local schools, and I want to ensure we give every child the chance to reach their potential. The modern economy is changing, and we need to enable all young people to flourish whether they choose an apprenticeship, university, further education, or enter the world of work.

Protecting our environment

Underpinning all we do is the need to protect the environment - our most treasured and valuable resource. I am absolutely committed to achieving the realistic target of carbon net zero by 2050.
