The website now includes incidents of crime and antisocial behaviour recorded at all train stations and railway networks. Soon incidents occurring at or near significant local sites like shopping areas, nightclubs, parks, airports, universities, car parks and hospitals will be added too.

In addition, the website now has more specific detail on the precise location of incidents – while still protecting anonymity.

From May this year police.uk will show the action taken by the police or the justice outcome after a crime.

Dr Lee commented: “Police.uk gives everyone in Bracknell constituency information on just what crime and anti-social behaviour is happening right on their street. In the year since its launch the website has received an astonishing 453 million hits and this upgrade will make even more detail available. I’m pleased the Home Office is listening to the public’s demand for even more information on crime in their neighbourhood ahead of the election this November of our Police and Crime Commissioner for the Thames Valley Police.’

The New Homes Bonus is a multi-billion pound programme that rewards communities when they accept more house building in their area. The Bonus includes an extra reward for building new affordable homes, and for getting long-term empty homes back into use.

Building on the flagship Housing Strategy, the Government has today 1^st of February 2012 unveiled a range of measures to help first time buyers onto the housing ladder, provide support for millions who have been left languishing on social housing waiting lists and get construction on the move.

Dr Lee commented: “Labour led Britain into a housing crisis – the number of affordable homes fell, waiting lists almost doubled and first-time buyer numbers collapsed to their lowest level for a generation. House building is already up a quarter under the Coalition Government, but there is more to do. I am delighted to welcome this funding for new homes in Bracknell. The Government’s actions will help local people onto the housing ladder, provide more affordable housing and create local jobs”.

Running until the 20th February, participants can enter into a national competition to win great prizes and visit HM Treasury in London.

Dr Lee commented: “I am supporting this campaign because I would like to see more young people engage in politics.  I believe that this is a great opportunity for young politics-lovers to get a chance to experience a day as a Chancellor.”

Taking advantage of free or discounted loft and cavity wall insulation offered by energy suppliers can save consumers an average £120 off their bill every year, and switching to direct debit alone could save around a further £100 each year.

Updated Government figures show that 9.6 million homes don’t have enough loft insulation and 7.8 million do not have enough cavity wall insulation – that’s one in every four homes.

Every major supplier is offering free or cut price deals for loft and cavity insulation, yet not enough people are claiming these deals. Currently 100,000 households are taking up these deals each month when some 200,000 households could be taking advantage of them.

Dr Lee commented: “I encourage constituents to contact their energy suppliers and ask if they would qualify for free or discounted insulation. Bracknell Constituents can also check if they are on the best tariff with their energy supplier. This can save money.”

Dr Lee commented: “I fully support the campaign against siting of polytunnels on beautiful landscapes here in Finchampstead.”

Dr Phillip Lee, MP for Bracknell chaired the parliamentary launch of “The Future of EU: Environmental Policy: Challenges and Opportunities” report in the House of Commons on Tuesday 24^th of January 2012. The speakers at the event were David Baldock, Executive Director at IEEP and Peter Unwin, Director General, Environment and Rural Group at Defra.

Dr Lee commented: “As the Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Environment Group I was pleased to launch this very good and informative report on the challenges and opportunities of EU policy.  Europe is an essential global player in shaping overall targets and leading the way on environmental policy. It is a hugely complex area. Both speakers did a fantastic job at answering difficult questions.”

Dr Lee commented: “I fully support the campaign against siting of polytunnels on beautiful landscapes here in Finchampstead.”

The deal follows the Government’s other measures to protect Post Office services including additional funding, new local and national contracts, a successful piloting scheme to transform many local post offices and improvements in the services offered. The Post Offices in Bracknell include: High Street Post Office, Windlesham Road, Harmanswater, Great Hollands, Birch Hill, Priestwood, Easthampstead, Crown Wood, Binfield, California Sub, Sandhurst Street and Crowthorne Station Post Offices.

 Dr Lee commented: “In opposition Conservatives campaigned tirelessly to overturn Labour’s cuts to our Post Offices, which saw them close over 6,500 in a decade. The Government’s announcement means the future of the Post Office is secured guaranteeing this valuable service for the people of Bracknell constituency.”

Dr Lee holds quarterly meetings, rotating around the entire constituency Bracknell, Crowthorne, Sandhurst and Finchampstead. The aim of these sessions is to increase the opportunities for his constituents to come along and engage in political debates.

Dr Lee commented: “Both of my previous public question and answer session were very successful and I am hoping that more people will attend this time in Sandhurst. I would like as many people as possible to engage in politics.”

This week, Dr Phillip Lee, MP for Bracknell signed a Book of Commitment in the House of Commons, in doing so pledging his commitment to Holocaust Memorial Day and honouring those who died during the Holocaust.

Friday January 27th will mark the 67th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi concentration and extermination camp which is the site of the largest mass murder in history – and in the weeks running up to the day, the Holocaust Educational Trust placed a Book of Commitment in the House of Commons, giving MPs the chance to honour those who were persecuted and killed during their Holocaust and encouraging constituents to actively speak out against prejudice and bigotry today.

 In signing the Book of Commitment Dr Lee paid tribute to the extraordinary men and women who having survived the Holocaust, work to educate young people about what they endured, through the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Outreach programme.

In the weeks around Holocaust Memorial Day, thousands of commemorative events will be arranged by schools, faith groups and community organisations across the country, remembering all the victims of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides. This year, people will also be encouraged to take a stand against racism and prejudice today – and to speak out against hatred wherever they encounter it.

Last year, Dr Lee joined a visit to Auschwitz in Poland with students from The Brakenhale School in Bracknell and Wellington College in Crowthorne. The trip was part of the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz (LFA) project. Having students visit and understand the horrors that took place during World War II, will encourage work is done to ensure that future generations will never again allow racism or discrimination to go unchallenged.

Dr Lee commented: “Holocaust Memorial Day marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau – and is an important opportunity to both remember the victims of genocide. I encourage all constituents to mark the day and to commit to ‘speaking up and speaking out’ against prejudice today.”

Karen Pollock MBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said: “We are proud that Dr Lee is supporting Holocaust Memorial Day this year. It is vitally important that we both remember and learn from the appalling events of the Holocaust – as well as ensuring that we continue to challenge all forms of bigotry.”
