Press Release: Onthank Street Surgery

This week (Friday 27th January) Alan Brown MP will be hosting a Street Surgery in the Onthank area of Kilmarnock.

The representative for Kilmarnock and Loudoun will be joined by his staff as well as Local Councillor for Kilmarnock North, Elaine Cowan.

The elected members and staff will be chapping constituent's doors in; Craufurdland Road, Kingswell Avenue and Crofthead Avenue from 1.30 – 4.30 pm on Friday 27th January.

Residents of these streets will have received a letter from the office of Alan Brown MP notifying them of his presence in the area this coming Friday. 

The MP aims to hit more than 200 doors in his first Street Surgery of the New Year.

Commenting, the MP for Kilmarnock and Loudoun said:

“I am really looking forward to getting out and chapping doors in Onthank this week.

“My last Street Surgery, back in August, was a success and this will become a regular feature in my constituency engagement again.

“It is estimated we will hit around 220 doors as I look to engage with constituents on their doorstep. It is beneficial to get out there and talk to people about real issues that are affecting their life, both locally and nationally - I am trying to get away from the stigma that politicians only chap doors at election time.

“For constituents in need of assistance with any matter dealt with at Westminster such as social security, employment or immigration issues, I will do all I can to help. For devolved issues such as education, health and housing then it may be more appropriate to contact your local Councillor or Member of the Scottish Parliament.

“I am well aware that some residents will be at work or not at home, therefore, we will be posting leaflets with my contact information and details of my next surgery.

“This is important as it shows my constituents I am always accessible and they can get in touch at any time for assistance.”
