2022 UPDATE FROM LUCY FRAZER MP
I wanted to reflect on 2022 and let you know a few of the matters I have been working on, on your behalf.
This year has not been without its challenges – whether that is the spiralling energy costs or the war in Ukraine. We have also mourned the death of our late Queen Elizabeth.
Improving healthcare locally continues to be one of my priorities. Addenbrooke’s has plans to build two new hospitals on its site to specialise in children’s care and cancer research. The Princess of Wales Hospital is also seeking funding for a major rebuilding programme and I have been pleased to support their efforts.
I continue to campaign for better infrastructure and connectivity in our area – I have pressed the case for: the A10 and funding has been made available for a feasibility study to examine significant upgrades to this major road, including dualling, improvements to Junctions 37 and 38 on the A14 and better rail links and bus services.
I know that cost of living is a real concern, and I am committed to helping constituents across South East Cambridgeshire find the support and advice they need. In my previous role as Financial Secretary to the Treasury, I worked with colleagues to introduce a package of measures to help tackle the cost of living crisis including a £400 discount off energy bills. Since then the Government has gone further with the introduction of the Energy Price Guarantee which caps the price per unit of electricity / gas for at least six months. In the coming months, the Government will consider how it supports households with energy bills beyond April 2023.
I wish you all the best and, as always, if I can be of help or assistance please email me on lucy.frazer.mp@parliament.uk.
