But there is still much more to do like improving special educational needs provision in Leicestershire and getting the A5 upgraded and sorting the Watling Street Bridge.
“I'd like to welcome Appleby Magna, Oakthorpe, Donisthorpe and Acresford as well as the new villages to the constituency. I will do my best to build a relationship with North West Leicestershire District Council to improve services.
“Looking forward I will be doing all I can to ensure Hinckley and Bosworth continues to be heard in the national arena, I won't let you down."
