NEWLY-ELECTED MP TO HOLD FIRST PETERHEAD SURGERY

Newly-elected SNP MP for Banff & Buchan Eilidh Whiteford will be holding her first Peterhead surgery on Saturday, 22nd May.

The SNP MP has chosen popular community facility The Hot Spot in the town’s Kirk Street as the venue.

In order to minimise waiting times, an appointment system will be in place. Appointments can be booked by telephoning 01779 470444.

Commenting, Eilidh Whiteford MP said:

"I've already been dealing with casework in these first few days on behalf of constituents but I'm looking forward to holding my first Peterhead surgery and working for the people of Buchan.

"I'll be arranging more surgeries in other communities in the coming weeks and details will be advertised in the local press. Even in this age of e-mail and instant communications, I feel that it is still vitally important for people to be able to access their MP face-to-face in their own community."
