Yesterday marked the end of coronavirus restrictions in England with the removal of the legal requirement to self-isolate following a positive COVID-19 test result. Alongside this, passengers on tubes and buses are no longer required to wear face coverings.

My busy week in Chelsea & Fulham and Parliament has varied from meeting virtually with constituents and local businesses to answering an Urgent Question on North Sea oil and gas in the House of Commons.

Firstly, I would like to invite all Chelsea and Fulham constituents to my Chelsea Crime Summit, which will provide residents with the opportunity to raise concerns and questions about crime in the local area directly with the Metropolitan Police and local representatives. Joining me on the panel will be Inspector Simon Crew from Central West BCU, Tony Devenish, the GLA Member for West Central London, and a senior Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Councillor. The summit will be held on Friday 25 February from 7 pm - 8:30 pm. Please click here for further information on how to register for attendance.

This week, my fight against Sadiq Khan and TfL’s decision to reduce bus services running through Chelsea and Fulham continued. From 29 January, Number 170 bus users will see their service reduced from every 10 minutes to every 7 minutes. As a result, this route will become significantly slower and busier, as fewer buses run throughout the day and more and more passengers squeeze in.

This week, the World Health Organisation highlighted that the end of the pandemic is in sight for the UK. Thanks to the vaccine rollout and the Government’s balanced view on COVID-19 restrictions, the UK has been one of the most open societies and economies in the whole of Europe this Winter.
