Southcraigs Street Surgery - 5/8/22

Next week (Wednesday 10th August) Alan Brown MP will be hosting a Street Surgery in Southcraigs in Kilmarnock.

The representative for Kilmarnock and Loudoun will be joined by local councillors Elaine Cowan and David Richardson, who are elected in Kilmarnock North, as well as his office staff.

The MP aims to hit more than 300 doors in his first in-person Street Surgery since covid.

The elected members and staff will be chapping constituent's doors in; Auchentiber Place, Boydston Way, Burns Crescent, Burns Way, Dalgarven Mews, Darvel Avenue, Fenwick Close, Galston Place, Hollybush Place, Lugar Wynd, Mauchline Court, Newmilns Garden, Priestland Close, Stewarton Crescent, Tarbolton Place, Wallacetown Avenue and Westfield Road.

Residents of these streets will have received a letter from the office of Alan Brown notifying them of his presence in the area on Wednesday afternoon.  

Commenting, the MP for Kilmarnock and Loudoun said:

“I am really looking forward to getting out and chapping doors again. Of course, in the lead-up to the local council elections, I was out campaigning and door knocking but before the pandemic Street Surgeries were becoming a regular feature in my constituency engagement.

“Teaming up with the councillors will be a welcome addition too as their expertise will be useful for any local government and council matters.

"Last year, in the middle of the pandemic, I had a Virtual Street Surgery for residents in Stewarton but nothing compares to the real thing.

“This will actually be my first in Kilmarnock as before I was targeting some of the outlying areas of the constituency. Street Surgeries are a great way of engaging with constituents and I am trying to get away from the stigma that politicians only chap doors at election time.

“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.”
