Liberal Democrat — Epsom and Ewell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 February 2026

Debate

Local Transport: Planning Developments

Contribution

Epsom and Ewell has the highest accommodation costs in England. That pressure is being addressed by building new housing, but the challenge is that in one development in my constituency, residents had to wait nearly a decade after moving into their new homes to get a bus route and new school, with additional pressure on train services. Although housing and some development is essential, does the hon. Member agree it should reflect community needs and the capacity of local transport services?
