Yes, you are more than welcome to contact me about Council related issues especially if your situation involves a broader policy or national issue.

You're very welcome to pop into my office if you have a quick question or need help with something. My team is always happy to assist where we can. As I work in Westminster most of the week you will most likely meet one of my caseworkers.
