Calvin's Work in Parliament & the Constituency
Campaigns & Local Priorities
Whipps Cross Hospital
Whipps Cross Hospital urgently needs an upgrade. Redevelopment will create a state-of-the-art facility, support NHS staff, provide new homes, generate jobs, and improve care for our community.
Anti-social Behaviour & Crime
Persistent antisocial behaviour and criminality profoundly impact our community. We must tackle these issues, support residents facing intimidation, and work together to create safer streets for all.
Local Bus Services
Addressing changes to local bus services is crucial. The W12, W13, and W14 routes impact access to Whipps Cross Hospital and reduced service frequency affects vulnerable residents and families.
National Issues
Empowering Young People
Education lays the groundwork for future success, and access to the arts, sports, and volunteering is crucial. I want everyone in our area to have access to these opportunities.
Supporting Veterans
We have around 4,000 veterans in our community in need of support to flourish in civilian life. Improving access to healthcare, housing, and employment is essential.
Championing Diversity
Diversity strengthens our community. By addressing challenges faced by ethnic minorities, creating leadership opportunities, and advocating for anti-racist policies, we build a more inclusive and just society for all.
