Helen Morgan - for North Shropshire
Helen Morgan was elected as Member of Parliament for North Shropshire at an historic by-election in December 2021, overturning a huge Conservative majority. She was re-elected as MP for North Shropshire at the General Election on 4th July 2024 with a 15,133 majority. It was the first time that a non-Conservative won North Shropshire at a General Election since 1832.
Helen and her family have lived locally in Harmer Hill for more than ten years. "It's a great privilege to have been representing the community that I'm part of," says Helen.
Helen has earned a strong reputation for working hard for North Shropshire and listening to local people.
Since being elected, Helen has been campaigning on key issues that affect North Shropshire, such as:
- Ambulance crews having to wait hours outside A&E to hand over their patients - this means they can't respond to more 999 calls;
- Delays in getting GP appointments - Helen is campaigning for an increase in GPs locally;
- A lack of bus services - Helen is fighting for improved bus services for villages and towns in North Shropshire, especially Market Drayton; and
- Supporting local farmers, who are struggling with rising costs and are worried they may have to shut down if the Government's Basic Payment Scheme is replaced.
- It's not just the 'big' issues that Helen has been working on. Helen and her team have helped thousands of individual residents with a wide range of problems and issues.
Helen Morgan is often seen around the towns and villages of North Shropshire, listening to residents and taking up their concerns.
