[quote quote=181258]He is an mp who lives outside both Wrexham and south clwyd constituencies and as far as I can see the only thing he has done is jump on the ‘bash kronospan’ bandwagon.[/quote]
Correction, he lives at Chirk.
He, in common with Sarah Atherton and lot’s of other new MP’s is learning (on) the job and at the same time getting up to speed with all the duties of an MP; setting up an office, getting staff as well as getting around his constituency which, he is doing. He, has also recently lost his mother so, i suggest you cut the man some slack, stop belly aching and if you really want something looking into/doing damn well ask him; i feel sure you will find him a nice enough bloke and accomodating.
Have a website address;

PS. Kronospan deserve bashing and if he didn’t have something to say about them the residents of Chirk would be calling him rotten for not doing so! Can’t win isn’t in it!
IMHO – if you look at the Job Description which all prospective MPs should have read before standing for election — how many people apply for a job without first reading what they must do if appointed. I will accept the argument that someone who is new needs to learn but we are now nearly three months in– so they should be ticking boxes — not sure that is the case for the two representatives in Wrexham– perhaps there may be more tick in 6 months.
Also I am not aware that MPs get a trainee salary as part of a six month induction period before collecting their full remuneration aren’t they expected to hit the ground running. Time will tell!

DJ you are a real plonker….give them time to prove themselves, if you’re not happy with their performance you know you have an opportunity at the next election to vote them out…! I wish we had to do the same to the head of Planning, the head of social services, the head of finance etc….who appear to be in jobs-for-life despite running poor performing services for the folk of Wrexham.

Oh. dear Derek, have to agree with Llayby-Lilly here.
If you were follow Simon on his FB page and his Twitter Feed (the modern way of communicating, even the POTUS does it) you would see he is getting around meeting people and getting involved in constituency issues (same goes for Sarah Aherton) but, i guess you wouldn’t want to do that preferring instead to sit at your keyboard and bellyache :)
PS.
By the way Derek, he, in common with all other MP’s holds regular surgeries around the constituency so why don’t you pop along to one and make your views known? Give him a piece of your mind kind of thing, after all, it is your right to do so as you pay his wages.[quote quote=181373]Where are the details of the Surgeries???[/quote]
Why don’t you ask him??
The email asking for details went end of January and still waiting for response. Why not just publish them on his Web site.
Have you used the email and had a response?[quote quote=181389]The email asking for details went end of January and still waiting for response. Why not just publish them on his Web site.
Have you used the email and had a response?[/quote]Yes i have, a question about government funding for Farmers; i received a comprehensive reply around a week later but, as i said in a previous reply, he had lost his mum (early January) so was dealing with that as well as being a newly elected MP. so, at the time i thought he did well replying in a week. Remember he is up and down to London as that is where a lot of his work is done, he can’t be on your or anyone elses doorstep asking you what you would like, what’s upsetting you? , can i do anything for you? all the time can he? It could be that at the particular time you sent the email he was up to his eyes in it as i do know that the new MP’s did go into panic mode in January due to the amount of emails they were receiving from all over the shop as well as going through the process of being sworn in, getting set up in their Parliamentary office etc. etc. These people are not superhuman you know so, as i said, cut him/them some slack and reserve your judgement for their performance in the longer term. Simon has just got the keys to premises for his constituency office on the Vauxhall Industrial Estate Ruabon so when he’s got that set up you will be able to go and mither him there, enjoy :)
