Working for Constituents

Staff and Offices

Close this window to return to my Annual Report

My team and I are now well established in my Surbiton office, at 23a Victoria Road. You can visit me there on Monday mornings at one of my advice sessions (8am to10am) and I'm in and out during the rest of the week.

I'm lucky that my house is less than 5 minutes walk away from my office, which makes life a bit easier. I share the 2 floors of offices with Kingston Liberal Democrats, so the place is often "buzzing" with lots of people. If you ever hear a "woof", that's just Bobby, a very friendly dog! Thanks go to my staff and the many volunteers who help with much of my work, and play an essential role.

My two full time staff are Belinda Eyre-Brook and Keith Reed and they are based in my constituency office. (see below). Last year in my Commons office, I was superbly helped by Naomi Hilliar and Sonia Sodha. From September 1999 my Commons office will be run by Ruth Polling.

Belinda is my office manager, and you'll usually speak to her when you telephone. She worked for the Liberal Democrat Council Group for 11 years, running their office at the Guildhall. Her knowledge of council issues, and Kingston matters in general, are of considerable value to me and the rest of the team.

Keith is my case-worker, helping me tackle the various problems constituents ask for my help with. He chases up the Council and the various other government agencies for me, on your behalf. As a councillor in Epsom and Ewell, his experience is invaluable. Keith also helps me in liaising with local papers.
