About Jess Brown-Fuller MP
Since being elected in July 2024, I’ve been committed to standing up for the people of Chichester, listening to your concerns, championing our community and making sure your voice is heard in Parliament. I’ve met with local businesses, charities and schools across the constituency, and I’m focused on the priorities that matter most to us all: fighting inappropriate development, protecting our precious environment, standing up for our NHS, and ensuring Chichester gets a fair deal.
In Parliament, I’ve pushed for urgent action on sewage dumping, better access to GP and dental services, and a more balanced, infrastructure-first approach to housing. I’ve also tabled proposals to give greater protection to our National Landscapes and valuable farmland, and continue to challenge decisions that put developer profits ahead of local needs.
I'm proud to serve as the Liberal Democrat MP for Chichester and as our party’s spokesperson for Justice. With my recent work on campaigning for LGBT veterans and for victims of the contaminated blood scandal, Justice is a brief close to my heart and is an issue that appears regularly in my inbox. In Chichester I have campaigned for the long-term future of the Chichester Crown Court and will continue to push David Lammy for clarity.
I’m also an active member of several All-Party Parliamentary Groups, working cross-party to tackle key challenges facing both our community and the country.

My priorities for Chichester
Standing up for our NHS
Years of underfunding, staff shortages and record waiting times have left patients struggling to access care. GP and dentist appointments are scarce, ambulance delays are growing, and vital treatments are postponed. I am urging the government to invest in primary and social care to ease pressure on hospitals.
Protecting our local environment
Protecting our rivers, harbour and National Landscapes must be a top priority. I'm deeply concerned by ongoing water pollution from unchecked sewage discharges and government inaction. For too long, private profits have been prioritised over environmental health and this must change. I’ve tabled an amendment to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill to make National Landscapes statutory consultees on planning applications.
Fighting for infrastructure-first development
I believe Chichester, and the country as a whole, urgently needs more homes for young people, key workers, families, and older residents. Our current planning system is failing us, with too much power in the hands of developers instead of local communities. I’ve consistently called for an infrastructure-first approach to development, stronger safeguards for our valuable farmland, and well-defined, enforceable local plans.
Championing Chichester
I am committed to restoring Chichester as a vibrant place to live, work and play and see a huge opportunity for the city to adapt to changing lifestyles, reshaping how people shop, work and spend their leisure time.
