Davey Takes Surgery to the Streets

4.33.10pm UTC (GMT +0000) Mon 30th Oct 2006

After the success of his first ever Street Surgery, which took place over the summer, Edward Davey MP held another on Friday evening in Chessington.

Edward Davey, Liberal Democrat MP for Kingston and Surbiton, already puts many of his parliamentary colleagues to shame by holding two advice surgeries each week - one every Monday at his constituency office in Surbiton and the second in another part of the constituency. Edward and his team visited Moor Lane, Station Road and Rhodrons Avenue, in Chessington. Residents received a leaflet before to tell them he would be calling and inviting them to speak to him if they wished to, which of course many did.

Edward Davey said, "I believe it is very important that, as Kingston and Surbiton's MP, constituents are able to chat with me about their concerns, whether it is a national issue or a local problem which they feel I could possibly help to solve. That's why I hold two advice surgeries each week. I believe that it is important that I meet as many constituents as possible and hear their concerns - these street surgeries are another way to meet even more residents."

If you are not a resident of Moor Lane, Station Road or Rhodrons Avenue but would like to chat to Edward Davey, please come to one of his other advice sessions or contact him by email at daveye@parliament.co.uk or by calling his casework team on 020 8288 0296 who will be able to help with any issue.
