Chesham and Amersham Liberal Democrats

Working hard for you

Sarah Green

Sarah was first elected as the Member of Parliament for the Chesham and Amersham constituency in a spectacular victory at the Parliamentary by-election in June 2021. She was re-elected at the General Election in 2024 cementing her position in the seat that had previously only ever been represented by Conservatives.  

Sarah has been a champion for the local environment, speaking out on the foul and dangerous sewage discharges into our local rivers. In fact her first meeting and first visit after being elected was on this topic. She presented a Bill to the House of Commons that would have provided chalk streams like the Misbourne and Chess with legal protections - but sadly that was unable to be passed before the election was called.  She continues to press Thames Water, Environment Agency and Bucks Council on action to protect residents from flooding.  

As our local Member of Parliament Sarah has held HS2 to account, raising serious concerns and queries over their conduct, and their works around the project. Her work on this issue resulted in being referred to by the government HS2 Minister as “a tireless advocate on her constituents’ behalf”.  

Sarah has also established a strong record of action helping local people, small businesses and the self-employed. After hearing first-hand examples of problems facing constituents, Sarah has spoken in the House of Commons about NHS waiting times; the “medical mesh” scandal and the victims still waiting for redress; the loan charge scandal and has worked with small businesses to navigate a way through the inflation crisis.  

Since the general election Sarah has already challenged the Labour government, speaking up for parents of children with special educational needs facing VAT on school fees, voted to scrap the two child benefit cap, voted against Labour’s cut in Winter Fuel Allowance and pressed the government for clarity on its plans for the Green Belt.  

In 2023, working with MPs from across the political spectrum, Sarah co-founded a new All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Crohn’s and Colitis - two medical conditions that do not get the understanding and recognition that they deserve.

Sarah lives in Chesham with her partner, Daniel and Labrador, Angus.
