A 'MEET your MP' plea has been issued by an area community development worker.

Ellen Coe urged Oldington and Foley Park residents to take advantage of monthly surgeries with Wyre Forest MP David Lock which began in August.

She said: "It's really important for us to have the MP on board in helping to promote what we do here and to be able to offer valuable advice to residents.

"I would greatly encourage people to come along to the surgery if they feel there is anything Mr Lock can help them with as it is important not to waste the opportunity."

She added: "He has great experience and could offer invaluable help to someone, whether it is on a matter concerning housing, benefits or the law.

"A small number came along to the August meeting, and we hope for a bigger turnout in the future."
