AN MP is looking for venues to host his out and about surgeries.

On top of regular surgeries at his constituency office at Strand House in Southchurch Road, Rochford and Southend East Tory MP James Duddridge hosts them at various places in the constituency.

Having previously held surgeries at fish and chip shops, cafés, pubs, supermarkets and community centres, he is now seeking alternative venues.

Mr Duddridge said: “Out and about surgeries are a great way for me to meet constituents in a more informal setting.

“I would really like for residents to suggest where they would like me to host a surgery.

“Or if a venue is willing to accommodate an out and about surgery, I urge them to contact my offices.”
