About Helen

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 in July 2024 with a 15,133 majority. It was the first time that a non-Conservative had 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 represent 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 many 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. Helen has been working with local NHS bosses and highlighting the issue in Parliament;
• Delays in getting GP appointments – Helen is campaigning for an increase in GP provision locally and for better access to local GP services;
• Rural broadband and mobile – Helen is a leading voice in Westminster for improved broadband and mobile signal, which is a particular problem in rural areas;
• Local buses – Helen is fighting for Shropshire to get its fair share of bus service funding from the Government following a £200 million cut. A decent bus network for Shropshire is essential as residents are more isolated and often have no alternatives. 
• Local rail – Helen is also fighting for improved rail services, such as an Oswestry to Gobowen rail link and for Whitchurch station to be made full accessible;
• Helen has been a strong voice at Westminster for farmers, who are struggling with rising costs and a lack of understanding from the Government;
• 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.
