Local Business
Anne has taken a keen interest in local business issues, and meets with local businesses as often as possible to discuss challenges facing them and maintain a real sense of the economic environment in the area.
She visits local businesses regularly and holds an annual business summit with St Albans Chamber of Commerce to allow her to discuss problems facing local businesses, and take stock of the situation. This has informed speeches and Parliamentary contributions on a number of subjects.
