Justine says: "Putney's a great place – and we want to keep it that way. I know people of all generations, especially my own, are switching off politics. I hope that at least in Putney I can start to change that for the better by always being approachable, listening to residents and standing up for our concerns. Whether its Heathrow, crime, or the District Line, I'll be there working with residents to make sure our views are listened to and acted upon.

Justine is also a school governor at Hotham Primary school in Putney.

Justine's Experience:

Justine was elected as the Member of Parliament for Putney in May 2005. In December 2005, she was appointed as a Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party, with responsibility for youth. She has been a member of the Work and Pensions Select Committee and is a Shadow Treasury spokesperson.

In her role as the Party’s Youth Spokesman, Justine is helping to highlight the issues faced by young people across Britain, and to introduce a new generation of politicians and activists into the Conservative Party. Justine's web-based campaigns and high profile research on youth-on-youth crime have highlighted some of the problems facing young people in Britain today.

Campaigns:

Justine thinks people are fed up with politicians who sit in their ivory towers and only come out at election time. She believes representing Putney means understanding people’s issues directly, and getting out and about across the entire constituency constantly.

Locally, Putney Conservatives survey households on a weekly basis across a range of local issues. If you haven‘t had one of our Resident’s Surveys, then email us at the address on the 'Contact Us' page and we will arrange to send one to you.

Justine is leading the District Line campaign, pressing for a better service and cleaner tube trains. Already Justine has ensured that a new lift will be installed at Southfields and East Putney Stations.

Justine is also concerned about the Government’s plans to increase flights from Heathrow and is campaigning against its future expansion. The increase in noise and pollution that could result from these plans could be damaging to the life of our community.
