A Conservative MP has launched a petition to get a fish and chip shop in his town centre constituency.

Steve Tuckwell, who succeeded Boris Johnson in becoming MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, is campaigning to get a chippy in Uxbridge town centre and has launched an online petition.

Mr Tuckwell said: “We have a fish and chip shop in Cowley and one near St Andrew’s Park, but we don’t in Uxbridge Town Centre. That’s why I’m launching a campaign to get us a fish and chip shop in Uxbridge Town Centre, but I need your support to do it. “
