Amongst the most memorable aspects of Dean Russell MP’s general election manifesto was a commitment to train 1000 mental health first aiders as part of his campaign to transform mental wellbeing in the town.

Our MP Dean Russell met with the Secretary of State, Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP, to discuss housing and local government concerns

Our MP Dean Russell asked Jacob Rees-Mogg about how we can get pavement politics back into government.

He said "For too long, the Woodmere Avenue width restriction has been a threat to all those passing through."

Politicians in Watford have reiterated their cross-party support to redeveloping Watford General Hospital.

An independent report concluded redeveloping the existing hospital is a more realistic option for West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust than building a hospital on a new site.

It is with much sadness that I have to report that Watford Conservatives have lost a true friend, the late Lord Tristan Garel-Jones. Tristan was Watford’s MP 1979-97, being made a Life Peer in 1997.

As many of you will be aware, Dean Russell was elected MP for Watford on 12 December 2019, and is one of the 109 newly appointed Conservative MPs.

Dean met with Health Secretary Matt Hancock to discuss the £400 million investment in our local NHS.

Hertfordshire County Council agree to carry out a review of the dangerous width restriction

Hertfordshire will be one of the first areas to benefit from a new kind of mental health provision, designed to support children and young people with mild to moderate mental health conditions, by working alongside schools and colleges.

It’s a real pleasure to wish all residents of Watford a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
