LETTER: I hope she can influence policy

I very much hope that she can influence government policy.

I note with interest, that only eight weeks ago, Maria described those of us who campaigned and petitioned on doorsteps to safeguard direct rail links to London as being “politically motivated scaremongers”.

One of the main concerns raised by voters in our recent by-election was the quality and future of train services. The misery and uncertainty caused to ordinary people was truly shocking.

So I am relieved that our local MP has finally realised the potential damage to the livelihoods and well-being of her constituents. I hope that she takes their concerns more seriously in the future.
