“I am very grateful to the people of Telford for re-electing me as their MP for a third term and with a substantially increased majority,” Ms Allan said.

“It is a huge honour. It has been an extraordinary journey over the last seven years to get to this point.

“I will be focusing on delivering the commitments I made during the election campaign. Going from a target marginal to having a substantial majority does change the way I can now operate as Telford’s MP. I can operate with greater authority with a sizeable mandate.

“I have huge ambitions for the future of Telford and I am so pleased to be a part of what will be a bright future for our town.”
