“This is an issue I feel passionately about. I have been actively involved in local advocacy groups for people with disabilities and two of my children live with disability. There are more than one million people in the UK with a learning disability and it is vital that they enjoy the same rights and opportunities as the rest of society.”

From Brussels to Batchwood - Labour MEP gives Roma's campaign a boost |

|
|
Issue date: April 26th 2010
Labour MEP for St Albans Richard Howitt gave Roma Mills’ Parliamentary campaign a boost on Saturday 24th April, when they called on residents of the New Greens Estate in Batchwood. Roma Mills has represented Batchwood as a district councillor for twenty years.
She commented: “Richard is a regular visitor to St Albans and it was fantastic that he could join our canvassing team on Saturday afternoon. The response from voters was really positive and our message that a vote for anyone but Labour on May 6th could help put the Tories in power is hitting home.”
Roma Mills was also joined by Josh Molloy – a Yr 10 student at Marlborough School. “Engaging younger people in politics is one of the greatest challenges facing all the parties at the moment, so Josh is a real asset. He is very impressive on the doorsteps and a convincing argument for reducing the voting age to 16!”
