Interesting to note that our Labour MP for Stockton North, former cabinet member for Children & Young People and still ward councillor for Billingham East Ward in the borough has been on his feet in the Commons, asking questions and making his maiden speech, generally raising the profile of Stockton. Ian Swales, newly elected Lib Dem MP for Redcar has also been in there, raising the profile of the Tees Valley and asking for the Green Investment Bank to be based here in the region. Advice surgeries have been set up and advertised. Meanwhile here in Stockton South our MP has visited, made comments in the local press and gone again. I haven't seen any advertising of where to contact him or see him, but perhaps that's because it's been advertised in places I haven't looked.
Interesting times.
