I hold surgeries across the constituency. Please get in touch to provide me with some information about what you wish to discuss, as it may be that we can offer advice or assistance in the meantime or resolve the matter without the need for an appointment.
What can I help with?
I will do my best to help constituents but I cannot usefully intervene in private disputes between neighbours, with an employer, with family matters, with companies who have sold you faulty goods, and I am unable to interfere with decisions made by the courts or advise on legal matters.
More information on the role of an MP can be found in the document below.
MP surgeries are an opportunity for constituents to voice their concerns in a confidential environment. Surgeries are strictly by appointment only. If you would like to book an appointment please email me on james.cartlidge.mp@parliament.uk or call the office on 020 7219 2081.
