Endorsers & Successes

My campaign is supported by Labour members, groups and residents across the constituency. Here are just some individuals and groups supporting my campaign for change.

There are two sets of doors to get into Wye train station. One is automatic, but the other consisted of two heavy, narrow non-automatic doors. One of these was often bolted shut at both the top and bottom, making the remaining opening too narrow for bikes, wheelchairs, prams, and others with accessibility needs. The other door was permently locked and this is what that created the main accessibility issue. As a physiotherapist, I could clearly see how difficult this would be for many people. I raised this with Southeastern without success, so I contacted Sojan. Sojan then followed this up, and I’m pleased to see that fully automatic doors have now been installed.

My pension credit was stopped for no reason in July 2025. Sojan contacted the DWP and my pension credit was restored and backdated.

I contacted Sojan for support regarding unwanted parking in front of my garage. After arriving home from holiday I was pleased to see that with Sojan’s input the council have painted yellow boxes in front of my garage along with a big no parking sign. I want to thank Sojan for his efforts on resolving this issue

My mum moved to Ashford in 2020. Since moving to Ashford my mum was not receiving her pension credit. This accrued to over Ā£10,000. I had been struggling to contact the DWP and decided to contact Sojan. I want to thank Sojan from the bottom of my heart for working on this for me. I very much doubt that, without Sojan’s assistance I would still be on hold to the DWP.

I was a victim of the Horizon scandal and was struggling to obtain compensation from the Post Office. I reached out to Sojan for support, he wrote to the Minster and the Post Office on my behalf. After 25 years I am pleased to say I have accepted an offer of compensation.

I contacted Sojan seeking support in regards to probate for my late mother’s estate, where I was experiencing delays. Sojan contacted the probate office and following this contact I successfully received probate. Sojan’s help was invaluable.

It was a real pleasure to welcome Sojan and show the work that is ongoing with the young people from our community. On behalf of the adults, the team truly appreciated Sojan’s warmth, genuine interest, and the thoughtful conversations during the visit. Having the chance to share our successes as well as some of the challenges we face means a great deal to us. Sojan’s interaction with the staff and cadets reminded us how important community connections are in the work we do every day.

We are a local company and are going to be impacted by a change in regulations proposed by the previous Government. We contacted Sojan and he came to our site and was very receptive to what we had to say. He is now taking up the cause on our behalf.

I have attended several of Sojan’s surgeries and found them all very useful.Ā It’s good to have an accessible MP who listens to the issues that matter to us, and I’m especially pleased with all he’s doing to bring European travel back to Ashford.

Eve, Ashford,

“We have had an ongoing issue regarding low water pressure in our school, meaning that we have been unable to operate on full capacity – this has had a very negative effect on the students’ learning. I made contact with the local MP – I found it really easy to get in touch with Sojan, he phoned me straight back. He really is a man for Ashford and I’m so very proud and pleased he is our MP.”
