🚨 Great news for South Norfolk: we’ve secured over £50,000 for flood protection work on the Haddiscoe New Cut and River Yare. This investment will help protect homes, livelihoods and local services as climate change causes extreme weather to become more common. Real action. Real investment.View post ↗
Your MP, on your street. This afternoon my team and I were in Queen’s Hills hearing about hidden bins, rough roads, bus links, immigration and climate change. Thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat. If I missed you today, I’ll see you soon! I’m all about your MP to you.View post ↗
My team ask the same question… but I think it’s more so they can have a break from me! 😅View post ↗
Villagers should not lose buses because of road closures. Great meeting in Stoke Holy Cross with 60+ residents, parish councillors and First Bus. Thank you to First Bus for listening and agreeing to explore alternative routes. Next step: Norfolk Highways.View post ↗
It is *incredibly* shabby that the Green Party cited "family and personal reasons" for their Makerfield candidate dropping out, given it was actually in relation to sharing antisemitic posts. Had a right-wing party done the same, they'd be getting called out loudly here for it. And rightly so.View post ↗
Meeting Health Minister Stephen Kinnock MP, I pushed for two vital NHS improvements for South Norfolk: a Community Diagnostics Centre in Long Stratton and the long promised new GP surgery in Hethersett. Our growing communities deserve services that keep pace.View post ↗
🍟 Who makes South Norfolk’s best fish and chips? I’m launching a competition to find our constituency’s top chip shop and I want your nominations. Between now and 4 June, email your favourite to ben.goldsborough.mp@parliament.uk and tell me who deserves the crown.View post ↗

🚑 NHS waiting lists are DOWN by 110,000 in March. Outside Covid, that’s the biggest monthly drop since 2008. And despite strikes, the NHS still hit its electives target. Progress through partnership and hard work.Bluesky post · 2026-05-14
