Our Local MP
A reply from Alan Strickland's communication officer received 9th Sept 2024;
As with most MP's offices, we are still recruiting staff and getting fully set up. Our priority in the first few weeks has been to respond to the individuals who have emailed us. We've responded to over 1000 emails and helped nearly 400 people with complex cases that include education, benefits and housing support.
I understand your readers are concerned about the winter fuel allowance and the up-coming vote on the early day motion. If any of them would like to email Alan regarding this then please feel free to forward on his email address and he will respond personally.
