Theresa Villiers was contacted by local residents in 2014 concerned about slow broadband speeds in parts of her constituency. While most homes and businesses can access superfast broadband speeds in Barnet, certain areas had been left with older, slower connections. A long campaign followed.

Barnet is one of the country’s most diverse boroughs, with residents from an immensely wide range of different cultural, religious, ethnic and national backgrounds. Theresa’s campaigning priorities reflect that diversity with a focus on a number of issues looking out to the wider world.
