13^th September to 5^th October

I held my annual community consultation, the Big Conversation, which I do every year to listen to people’s concerns and views. There were events across the constituency – see the programme below. Lots of people came along to share their views and I’m really grateful to everyone who got involved.

The events finished on 5^th October, and the survey closed on Sunday 13^th October. I’ve already spoken about some of the issues raised in Parliament, and will publish my report on what I heard in the Big Conversation on 23 October.
