Labour & Co-operative MP, Elsie Blundell's Christmas Message

Elsie Blundell, the Labour & Co-operative MP for Heywood and North Middleton, has shared a heartfelt Christmas message reflecting on a transformative 2024. In her address, she highlights the bustling nature of Parliamentary life since her election, emphasising the introduction of various new initiatives and legislation by the new Government. From establishing breakfast clubs for all children to enacting dedicated laws against violence towards shop workers, Elsie has been at the forefront of significant changes aimed at improving community welfare. As the newly elected MP, she is committed to creating a responsive office to assist constituents during their times of need while also championing the incredible individuals and organisations that enrich her local area.

In a personal touch to her message, Elsie expresses her gratitude for the warm wishes she received following the birth of her baby in September. She shares the joy of exploring Christmas lights and shopping for baby clothes at local markets in both Heywood and Middleton, bringing a sense of community spirit to her festive reflections. During the holiday season, she encourages residents to visit her website, which will provide essential information on how to obtain urgent help if needed. She hopes that few will require assistance, but emphasises the importance of recognising and appreciating the hard work of health and emergency service workers who will be on duty during the holidays, ensuring the safety and well-being of others both locally and abroad.

As the festive season approaches, Elsie extends her warmest wishes to all in Heywood and Middleton North, hoping for a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. She expresses her anticipation for 2025, and wishes for local residents to be able to be optimistic for the future, and look forward to a year filled with promise, growth, and continued community engagement.
