Caroline has worked tirelessly to fulfil her election pledge to secure the best future for the Daedalus site, a disused former Military Airfield, to increase jobs and skills in our area.

Caroline’s interventions have helped to secure a combined investment of over £90m since 2010 for highway improvement projects for the Gosport peninsula, including Newgate Lane North & South, St Margaret's Roundabout, the Bus Rapid Transit Phase 1a, Station Roundabout, Gudge Heath Lane/Redland

Caroline is passionate about protecting local health and care resources and was thrilled to learn that Gosport was chosen by the Department of Health to be part of their Vanguard project to improve community care.

Ensuring everyone in Gosport, Stubbington, Lee-on-the-Solent and Hill Head has access to the best education and training is essential to the future of the area.

Caroline works to support and improve policing, she meets regularly with Gosport and Fareham's Chief Inspector, the Chief Constable of Hampshire Constabulary and the Police and Crime Commissioner.

Caroline is strongly opposed to housing proposals that threaten the strategic gap between Gosport, Fareham and Stubbington, and has formally objected to both Fareham Borough Council and developers on a number of these proposals as well as Fareham's Draft Local Plan.
