Helen shows support for troops on Armed Forces Week

Helen Morgan has reiterated her pledge to support servicemen and women across her constituency this Armed Forces Week.

The MP has been heavily involved in calling for improvements to military housing stock in her constituency, campaigning on behalf of military families based in Shawbury and highlighting the issue to Defence Ministers.

Current or former servicemen and women live at one in ten households in North Shropshire, making the issue particularly pertinent in the area.

Earlier this week Helen again raised the issue of service family accommodation in the House of Commons, leading a debate and urging the government to act and get a grip on the situation.

Helen Morgan, MP for North Shropshire said, “Shropshire has a proud history of housing servicemen and women, with fantastic bases like Shawbury and Tern Hill in my constituency.

“Some of the country’s finest are serving right here in North Shropshire and they and their families deserve to be both celebrated and thanked this Armed Forces Week.

“They also deserve to be supported, especially given the recent issues regarding the unacceptably poor state of housing stock.

“I’ll continue to champion the right of military families to live in high quality accommodation in Parliament, and won’t give up until we see the real improvements they deserve.”
