AN MP held his second annual constituency bus surgery in partnership with the Southend YMCA’s SOS bus project.

James Duddridge MP for Rochford and Southend East travelled around the constituency visiting the Freight House in Rochford, the Royal British Legion in Great Wakering, Asda in Shoeburyness and Waitrose in Southend.

At each of the stops Mr Duddridge spoke to a number of residents about the issues that affected them and how he as Member of Parliament could assist.

He said: “These bus surgeries are an excellent way to reach out to the constituents of Rochford and Southend East who may not normally be able to come to my office based in the constituency. It is always great to be able to listen to people’s concerns and advise on how I may be able to assist them.”
