Here with Jonathan Brash, Hartlepool's MP, around a year on from his election.
00:06
Jonathan, how was the first year being as MP?
00:08
Look, it's been a whirlwind and so much hard work gone in right across Hartlepool.
00:12
I genuinely believe we've seen huge progress.
00:15
£150 million of capital delivery, £20 million for our neighbourhoods.
00:20
We've seen lots of private capital investment as well.
00:22
There's a huge amount left to do, but we're starting that journey.
00:26
It's a five-year parliamentary term. We're a year in.
00:28
I think we've made a really good start. There's a lot more to do.
00:32
What have been some of your highlights from the last year?
00:34
Well, I tell you, the thing I have loved doing most is welcoming people from Hartlepool to Parliament,
00:40
particularly our school children.
00:41
It's been such a privilege to be able to show them around and excite them about democracy and make them feel part of it.
00:46
As long as I'm your MP, I will always welcome Hartlepool people to Parliament.
00:50
It's one of the most special things I can do in the job.
00:52
And looking to the future, what's next for Hartlepool? What's Hartlepool got to look forward to?
00:57
Well, look, we managed to secure £20 million for our plan for neighbourhoods.
01:01
And the next big step in that journey is engaging with people in their neighbourhoods about how they want to spend that money.
01:07
It should be me that decides. It should be people in their street, in their community that make that decision.
01:12
So I'm really excited about talking to people about that massive plan.
01:16
And then delivering those big capital investments, the production village, the upgrade to the Northern Studios,
01:20
the highlight that's opening really, really soon.
01:23
Some big things happening. Investment in our hospital, GP surgery, schools,
01:27
all that's going to make a difference to people's lives.
01:29
It's just about continuing to work every day to improve things for people in Hartlepool.
