Parliamentarians Hit The Road With Kincardineshire Surgery Tour


SNP Euro-MP Ian Hudghton will be embarking on his annual surgery tour of Kincardineshire towns next week.  Mr Hudghton will be visiting local towns in his mobile office to allow constituents who may wish to raise any European-related issues direct access to him.

Nigel Don, SNP MSP for North-east Scotland will join forces with Ian Hudghton this year to give Kincardineshire constituents the opportunity to raise any issues relating to the Scottish Parliament.

Mr Hudghton’s surgery tour is now an established fixture and in previous years many people have taken up the opportunity to quiz their Euro-MP on various topics.

Previewing the tour, Ian Hudghton commented:

“I was very pleased with the success of last year’s tour which resulted in quite a number of enquiries and casework being picked up and I am looking forward to getting out and about in the Mearns during September.

“Having represented only the North-east previously, it is now quite a challenge under the new system where I share responsibility for the whole of Scotland, which is now one electoral “region”.  However, I am determined that this should not mean that Euro-MPs become more remote from the public and this surgery tour is an excellent way of giving people direct access to me in their own community.”

Nigel Don said:

“Since becoming an MSP in May, I have made every effort to visit communities in the North-east and to be available to constituents.  I am delighted to be accompanying Ian on his tour which will give constituents access to both an MSP and an MEP in their own town.

“Anyone is welcome to come along at the advertised times and both Ian and I will very happy to assist with any concerns they may have if we possibly can.”

Portlethen, Bourtree Community. Centre car park                         9.30am
