Issue 100 Thursday 1st November 2012
Dear Resident,
This is the 100th email newsletter Ihave sent to residents inBournemouth West, Alderney andBranksome East.Instead of sending the usual roundup of what I have been up toaround the constituency and inWestminster, I thought it would beappropriate to put together acompilation of some of the highlights from the last few years.It is a great honour to represent this part of our country in the House of
Commons and I remain as committed as ever to working hard to bringthe changes we need, whilst also preserving the traditions andcustoms we value as a nation.I will always put Bournemouth and Poole first and am not afraid tostand up for what is right, even if that means going against my ownGovernment. For example this year I resigned as the ParliamentaryPrivate Secretary to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland overthe Governments proposals to abolish the House of Lords and I havealso publically committed my support for an in/out referendum onBritains membership of the European Union by signing The PeoplesPledge.
As your local MP, I aim to be as accessible to local people aspossible. If there is ever anything I can do to help, no matter how bigor how small, local or national, please get in touch either by post,phone or email (details below). I hold regular surgeries across thewhole constituency and you can even keep tabs on what I am doing torepresent you by following me on Twitter at @Conor_BurnsMP.The next edition will be back to the usual local and national newsstories, however if you have any suggestions about the sort of thingsyou would like me to report back on, then please do get in touch.With kind regards,
Conor Burns MPMember of Parliament for Bournemouth West,
Alderney and Branksome East
Key Local Achievements 2010-2012
Since being elected I have strived to focus my efforts on thoseareas which will genuinelyimprove things for local people. Hereare someof the achievements I regard as particular highlights:
Directly secured over 11.1 million for St Aldhelm's Academy
from the Department of Education. The bulk of the money is
forthe replacement ofoutdated buildings with a new two storey
structure which will have extensive facilities for the arts and
science, as well as well as refurbishing existing facilities for
skills based courses, such as construction or beauty.
Directly secured nearly 10 million for the Bourne Academy(formerly Kings High), enabling the school to grow to 1,000
pupils and develop an engineering department.
Worked with local Councillors to save Talbot Heath from
development proposals that would have seen the precious
green space destroyed. I lobbied Ministers to ensure planning
permission could not be granted.
Kept up pressure on Government to ensure new immigration
rules do not adversely affect our local language schools -
including taking representatives of local language schools to
meet with Ministers directly.
Intervened to save Suttoners Cricket Club at Kinson Manner
from closures following an attempt to close them down on
health and safety grounds.
Worked with travel website TripAdvisor to help small
businesses in the tourism sector in Bournemouth.
I also continue to work hard to resolve major issues such as:
Stopping the Navitus Bay Wind Park which will blight the
Bournemouth coastline.
Opposing proposed travellers sites in Bournemouth and the
rules which arbitrarily force them on local communities.
Potential local sites including one in the Lansdowne have
been earmarked due to rules left by the last Labour
government.
Ensuring the replacement for the IMAX site in Bournemouth is
suitable and fitting for the local area.
For fullcoverage of issues I am working on, please see the newssection ofmy website here.

Key Government Achievements 2010-2012Since the coalition was formed between the Conservatives andLiberal Democrats in May 2010, two parties have come togetherto tackle the serious economic problems which we face and to

24 new Enterprise Zones created.
Corporation tax cut to 24 per cent this year. Down from 28 per
cent. It will be reduced to 22 per cent by 2014-15 making the
UK the most tax competitive in the G20.
