Here at TW Mag we are not political creatures, but couldn’t resist asking local resident and Twickenham’s first female MP, Tania Mathias about her time in office. It’s a demanding role and not for the faint hearted, you can read about here experiences on pages 4 and 5.

I hope you enjoy this edition of TW Mag and I look forward to seeing you again next month.

IT’S NOT YET A YEAR since I was elected at four in the morning in a cold sports hall to be Twickenham’s Member of Parliament. Some residents still ask me if I expected to win and when they do I still get a flashback and say ‘I didn’t expect to win but I’m very glad I did’ Representing my home constituency is an amazing privilege and I still pinch myself all these months later.

I was lucky that I knew many of the other new MPs so my first few weeks in the new job were made easier as friends were feeling the same sense of awe and the same ability to get lost in the long corridors in Parliament. During one of the long sittings - when debates can go on past midnight - several of the new MPs including myself decided to go for dinner in the canteen and we sat together taking up several tables. We all happened to be women. A senior male MP was leaving as we sat down and he looked at the tables and stuttered to no one in particular ‘What’s going on?’ to which I replied ‘We’re the new intake’. I think it took some of the older MPs a while to get used to the change. I wish there were more women MPs but I’m happy that the proportion is the highest there has ever been and I feel as much at home in Parliament as the male MPs.

Finding myself newly elected as an MP, I couldn’t guess what my average working week would be like and I have found that there is no such thing for an MP. It has definitely been an advantage to have done jobs in the NHS and in refugee camps overseas, so I’m used to situations where you can’t ‘switch off’. There’s always a constituent case that needs following up, or a debate in which to speak, or a community meeting to attend. As a candidate, the best part of the election campaign was being able to speak to so many people, whether it was knocking on their doors, or talking with them at various meetings or at street stalls. Since I became the MP I have wanted to continue this and although I have

to be in Parliament a lot of the time, I use Fridays and weekends to continue to meet constituents, holding weekly surgeries for individual problems, getting out and about across the constituency, and running open meetings for residents.

As you may imagine, the work of an MP encompasses such a broad range of issues and interests. To represent the area effectively it is essential to hear the views of the people who live and work here.

Some examples have included learning about how local businesses feel about the EU when I held a discussion event at Richmond upon Thames College in the summer; soon after the Rugby World Cup I met local residents to hear what their experiences had been; and I invited the CrossRail 2 director to hold an open meeting in the Greenwood Centre to consult residents on suggested CR2 routes through Teddington and Hampton. All of which are invaluable experiences to hear opinions and concerns.The Twickenham constituency benefits from a number of active and effective resident groups. These groups help to change things in the local community and beyond, and I often quote residents in the Commons when I challenge the Government about policies that are not good for our area. Good examples of dedicated and passionate groups are the Teddington Action Group who are campaigning against Heathrow noise pollution and further expansion who I’ve teaming up with; I also support our local

local environment group FORCE who protect the River Crane and Duke of Northumberland river. In Parliament I take a close interest in science and technology, and as a member of the Science Committee successfully lobbied for an increase in the Science research budget. I’ve had the opportunity to chair a session scrutinising the UK’s response to the Ebola outbreak.

As you would hope my main objective as an MP focusses on getting the best for our constituency: I want Heathrow Airport to be ‘better not bigger’; train services need to be more frequent and more reliable.

So it has been an extremely busy ten months in office, and yes I am thoroughly enjoying the challenge of being the MP for Teddington, St Margarets, Whitton, Heathfield, Twickenham

and the Hamptons. Meeting people and trying to address their concerns is still the best part of my job. Please feel free to contact me if you have an issue, I will always do what I can to help.

Monkfish stew and the meaning of life. Middle-

class follies and delusions brilliantly skewered.

An earthquake in Haiti kills thousands

and leaves two million homeless.

Meanwhile six, good-looking, tech-

savvy, young professionals sit down to

dinner in a leafy London suburb. But

as they tuck into their monkfish stew and fret

about mortgages and Facebook friends, their

veneer of happiness begins to fragment. A

powerfully funny, black comedy.

Councillor’s Update

Cllr David Porter [email protected]

I WOULD LIKE TO take this opportunity to update you on a number of local Council related

topics.

This is a difficult time for local government all over the UK as Councils of all politicalpersuasions attempt to provide much needed, and much valued local services duringdifficult economic times.

RICHMOND COUNCIL FINANCESThis squeeze on public finances is particularly acute in our borough. Due to the perceived affluence of Richmond, we get very modest funding from central government in the form of grants. This means that a very high proportion of local expenditure comes directly from local council tax receipts. Council Tax bills have been frozen for the last six years, however the pressure on Council finances becomes more acute with every passing year.

After representations from both of our borough MPs – Tania Matthias and Zac Goldsmith – as well as from the Council itself, the Council has been granted an additional £2.9m this year and £2.9m next year as well as £1.7m the year after in grant funding from central government. This funding will really help us locally.

SHARED SERVICES WITH WANDSWORTHThe process of sharing officers with Wandsworth is progressing in order to achieve efficiency savings and thereby protect services.

TWICKENHAM RIVERSIDE – CONSULTATIONAs most of you are aware the Council is consulting on a potential scheme for the riverside site. The freehold interest in the block which currently houses Santander, Super Drug and M&Co has been purchased by the council. Quinlan and Francis Terry, a prominent firm of architects, have been retained to work on proposals in order to assist with the redevelopment of this area.

An early stage public consultation on the design concepts concluded on 11th December 2015. The consultation made use of a ‘pop-up’ shop which

was set up at 27 Church Street in order that local residents could view the draft plans and speak with council officers and the architects.

Many local residents participated and the scheme is now being revised to take account of their feedback. A full summary of the response is available on the Council website. Key themes which emerged were concerns at the size of the proposed development, particularly overlooking the Thames. Many wanted to see a better / wider view down to the river. Many were concerned at the ‘Regency’ style of the proposed development and felt that it did not fit with the ‘red brick’ nature of much of Twickenham.

Generating a scheme which everyone agrees on will be impossible, but the aim is to find a scheme which has general appeal and which supports the redevelopment of Twickenham and integrates with the hugely popular Diamond Jubilee Gardens beside it. Twickenham needs and deserves a destination at its heart which draws people to the town and the riverside and a second consultation on the amended designs will be launched in the summer.

WARD SURGERYAs usual our ward surgery will be held at York House in Twickenham between 7pm and 8pm on the second Monday of the month. (Monday 14th March). No appointment is necessary but it can be helpful to know the topic in advance in order that we can do some research.

2016 sees the 300th anniversary of ‘England’s greatest Gardener’ “Capability” Brown. Strawberry Hill joins the

celebration of ‘all things’ outdoors with its opening campaign, Botanicals.

Although not a Capability Brown garden, Strawberry Hill is an extraordinary example of an English landscape garden and one of the first to be designed in the naturalistic style. Started by Horace Walpole in 1747 Strawberry Hill’s garden was laid out in a manner that evoked a semi-natural, pastoral, landscape using a design that compliments the gothic revival castle for which it forms a backdrop.

Gardens can be viewed in many ways. To stimulate the senses we have curated a programme of events inspired by botanicals and the garden. This includes a selection of workshops where you can listen, learn, draw and plant everything botanical. We’ll keep you up to date so you can enjoy one of our many fantastic events!

Easter26th March – 10th AprilYour family can enjoy an ‘eggcellent’ family day out at Strawberry Hill this Easter. Win a chocolate treat on one of our Easter trails or make your own at one of our chocolate workshops. Get muddy in the garden, bounce around like the Easter bunny or make botanical bubbles. There’s something all children will enjoy!
