Zöe Franklin’s Summer Survey - Listening to You!

As Liberal Democrats, we are always keen to listen to local residents. We care deeply about our communities, and know how important it is that Guildford and our villages are clean, safe, and somewhere everyone can thrive.

That’s why, over the summer, our MP Zöe Franklin, and the Lib Dem team, asked residents to share their views through our summer survey. We wanted to hear directly about the issues affecting you and your family, and what changes you want to see locally.

We were delighted to see so many residents respond to the survey from all across the constituency.

The responses have shown some clear concerns coming up again and again. Many local people have told us they are worried about the NHS, protecting our environment and green spaces and the increasing cost of living.

It was clear that many residents are still concerned about the future of our NHS. An issue which was raised repeatedly was the concern of residents about the time it took to get a GP appointment.

Zöe Franklin has been fighting in Parliament to improve NHS access for local people. This has included campaigning for a new Health Hub in Bellfields and backing the new Lib Dem policy for a new “GP Guarantee” which would mean no new housing developments without expanding the capacity of local GP services.

People also shared their concerns regarding the protection of our green spaces. Zöe Franklin has been fighting in Parliament to protect Guildford’s green spaces. This has included standing up and voting against all of Labour’s damaging changes to planning regulations.

Zöe and the Lib Dem team will continue to look at the responses to the survey to see what actions can be taken to address residents' concerns. We will also continue working with our local communities to ensure we act on the issues that matter most to you.

If you have any issues you would like to raise, you can contact Zöe Franklin via email at Zoe.Franklin.MP@Parliament.uk.
