Through advice surgeries, phone calls, emails, letters, doorstep conversations, and appointments my constituency office team in Chadderton Town Hall helps over help over 8,000 people a year. They work tirelessly to assist constituents and solve problems for people who often have nowhere else to turn.
Over the last month we received almost 1200 emails, emailed constituents over a thousand times, opened new cases for constituents almost 600 times, and we closed over 600 cases too, many securing wins for local people. For example:
Stand out issue; supporting constituents and their families who feel let down by mental health support
Holding to account; sorted over 30 housing issues, such as getting local housing associations to treat & remove mould & damp in local homes
Keeping it local; made our neighbourhoods better places to be by addressing fly-tipping, fallen trees, and securing a no-parking zone at the entry of an alleyway behind a row houses in Chadderton
Dealing with Government departments; including resolving an underpaid state pension issue for a Chadderton resident with the DWP
I know that these really matter to local people and that’s why I have kept the commitment to establish a local office to help constituents, an office which has now been in place for a decade.
