Meet your Labour MP!
We are pleased to announce that the new Labour MP for the Aylesbury constituency is Laura Kyrke-Smith.
Laura lives in Buckinghamshire, with her husband and children. She’s a charity leader with a strong track record of successful campaigns, bringing her drive and experience to Labour’s campaign for Aylesbury’s future.
During the General Election campaign, Laura said:
“Aylesbury and its surrounding villages are brilliant places to live, work and visit. But Aylesbury has been let down by 14 years of Conservative government. Public services are on their knees. The NHS is stretched to breaking point. Our streets no longer feel safe. Our rivers are polluted and residential roads are at risk of floods. Hard-working people, who deserve so much better, have been left wondering how to pay their energy bills and feed their families.
Labour is the change that Aylesbury needs, and I am determined to make that change happen. I will fight for improved health services, for affordable housing and childcare, and for better job opportunities. I want everyone in Aylesbury to feel safe and I want to protect our environment. I will put the people of Aylesbury first and fight for a brighter future for everyone.”

Our MP Laura Kyrke-Smith for Aylesbury stood up in parliament today to ask a key question on SEND services in Bucks
She says
"Today I asked the Leader of the House Lucy Powell MP if she would reaffirm our Government's commitment to reforming the SEND system, and I was pleased with her response."
"There's lots more to do at both the local and national levels to deliver the SEND services that families in Aylesbury and the villages need and deserve.
I welcome the steps our Government is taking to invest in our SEND system, including today's announcement that 10,000 new school places will be funded for children with SEND."
£740 million is being invested by the government to deliver adaptations, expand specialist units in mainstream as well as create new places in special schools – enabling more children to succeed at a school close to their homes and families.
This comes alongside a significant £1 billion investment to fund 44,500 places in mainstream schools needed by 2028, helping meet current and future demand across the country.
The answer to fixing our broken SEND system lies not just in funding, but reform as well.
We owe it to all the SEND children and their incredible parents, carers and teachers to work together and do everything in our power to fix this system as quickly as possible. ... See MoreSee Less

We spoke to Aylesbury Dynamos coach Alan about the desperate need for up-to-date sports and social facilities in Aylesbury.
Aylesbury has football teams, but nowhere to play.
We need investment, and here is some GOOD NEWS!👇👇
The Labour government has now committed £100M to upgrading and developing local grassroots sports facilities with new pitches, changing rooms and lighting, to name just a few. Gov press release below!

What a load of waffle! you lot don’t even know who runs the sports amenities locally? shows how much you know about our local area and Alan should know this with being involved with Aylesbury Vale Dynamos football club. It’s laughable
As long as they are fully mobile and don't have special needs eh?
He’s probably getting muddled up with the tories
IT'S OFFICIAL! We have launched our Bucks Unitary Council election campaign!
In every ward/region of Aylesbury and the villages, we have some brilliant candidates standing to bring the CHANGE you voted for last summer - affordable housing, reliable public transport and end to potholes

When we getting the £300 off our energy bills?
Great to know Laura Kyrke-Smith listens & acts on concerns of Bucks residents regarding The Pothole Plague. But, she & we need Labour Councillors to make a direct & noticeable plan for Better Bucks Roads!
This week, our MP Laura Kyrke-Smith for Aylesbury stood up in Parliament to talk about potholes plaguing Aylesbury motorists - they cause expensive damage to our cars, and make pedestrians and cyclists less safe.
She has fought for the Labour government to commit £20m in funding to Buckinghamshire Council to fix our roads.
She adds:
"We are working hard to get our Aylesbury Labour Party candidates elected onto the Council on the 1st of May to ensure this investment delivers results for my constituents." ... See MoreSee Less

What a great job Laura is doing, standing up for Aylesbury and the surrounding villagers 👏
HELLO, AYLESBURY NORTH!
We are Rob Marshall and Tina Cardy - your Labour candidates for the Bucks Council elections on May 1st!
From the Queens Park Centre, to the Town Centre and Elmhurst, we're standing to hold the council to account for their wasteful spending, so we can fix the roads, beat the congestion, and ensure we all have the clean air and reliable public transport that you expect!
We want a fair and healthy Aylesbury for all! If you elect us, we will work with our MP to ensure you get what your council taxes pay for - including ensuring local education authorities and health services are there for all our families.
We are both long time Aylesbury residents, we have raised our families here and have long been involved with local independent businesses and schools.

What an impressive team to make Aylesbury a town to be proud of.
This weekend, we launched our campaign for the local council elections on May 1st!
We spoke with hundreds of residents in the newer estates of Berryfields and Kingsbrook, and many closer to the centre!
It's clear to us that our neighbours want REAL CHANGE - for our children, schools and hospitals, and crime in our neighbourhoods.
The local elections are your chance to elect a team to support our MP @laurakyrkesmithmp to bring the change home!
Special guests Alex Baker MP and Tom Rutland MP joined us for this campaign launch, HUGE thanks to them for their support!
