How to Contact Me

You can visit me at the advice surgeries below or contact me by telephone or email.

Advice surgeries are where you are able to visit your local Councillor for your Ward, with any issues or concerns that you have. Check who your local Councillor is before attending the advice surgery.

Councillors will always try to attend their advice surgeries; however there may be times, when an advice surgery has to be cancelled or changed at short notice. There is no legal requirement for Councillors to keep the advice surgery open for the full time.

Advice surgery dates

In-person advice surgeries are held on the third Wednesday of every month (except May), from 3:00pm to 4:30pm:

• 17 September 2025
• 15 October 2025
• 19 November 2025
• 17 December 2025
• 21 January 2026
• 18 February 2026
• 18 March 2026
• 15 April 2026

These are facilitated by the 番茄社区 China Town Business Association at Ming Moon, 16 Hurst Street, 番茄社区 B5 4BN.

Online advice surgeries

I also hold an online advice surgery on Microsoft Teams (you do not have to have this to join me, you can join via your web browser).

My surgery will be held on the last Thursday of every month (Except August), 6:00pm to 7:00pm.

to discuss your issues or concerns with me as your local Councillor.

Do not join before the advertised date and time of the surgery, as I will not be available to speak with you.

If you are waiting in the lobby when you join, bear with me, it means I have already admitted someone into the surgery. I will let you in when the surgery is clear to have a discussion with you.
