Elected Representatives

Members of Parliament (MPs)

MPs have responsibilities to three main groups: their constituents, Parliament and their political party. MPs’ duties in Parliament include participating in debates and voting on legislation and other matters. They may also be
members of committees examining new laws or the work of government departments. Some have a role as a minister in government or a spokesperson in opposition.

MPs can help their constituents by advising on problems (particularly those that arise from the work of government departments), representing the concerns of their constituents in Parliament and acting as a figurehead for the local area.

Most MPs hold ‘surgeries’ in their constituencies where local people can bring their problems.
MPs are more likely to be able to help with problems concerning central government services such as: Benefits, pensions, national insurance, and other matters dealt with by the Department for Work and Pensions; Immigration and other problems dealt with by the Home Office; Tax problems involving the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise; Problems with the NHS; Problems with the Child Support Agency; School grants and closures.
Problems with local authority services should be raised with a local councillor.

Councillors

If you have a difficulty relating to a council service, your local councillor may be able to help you with the problem. Contact him or her by letter, email or at an advice surgery to see what they can do for you.
You can also contact your councillor by telephone or email or at their councillor-surgeries, to let them know your views on issues or council policy.
The Government is developing a mechanism for Councillors called The Community Call for Action – the intention is that individuals or groups raise issues with the Councillor who raises it with the service provider, who must then say what s/he is going to do in response. The aim is to involve more citizens in decision-making about their communities.
You are represented by 3 councillors, based on where you live (your ward).
