I suppose it is how you play it. I didn't hold surgerys but was frequently can assign and delivering with my personal number and email give. Out promptly, soon as people called we arranged a con isn't time and would go round and give them as much to E as was needed. I usually spent 2 evenings a week and either all day Saturday or Sunday (quite often both) either visiting constituents or canvassing More water Stuart. Your middle sentences lack syntactical rigour suggesting impairment of cognitive responses.

I would like to do surgeries, but with 9 villages and 2 distinct urban patches it's difficult to know how to begin. I do attend most Parish Councils and perhaps could try and link something in with those - maybe 30 mins beforehand? Or I suppose I could publicise my round of pub visits instead? If I ever become a Borough Councillor I might be able to hold proper surgeries...

Start by having a monthly Saturday morning surgery in the/a library and you'll pick up from there where else people would find it convenient to see you. (looks for old leaflet...) My ward had 14,000 electorate and two libraries, so every two weeks we had a morning surgery alternating between them, and an evening session a community centre in the main council estate in the centre of the ward. We used to have a fourth in a tenants' meeting room in the tower blocks, but nobody would turn up. My ward used to be long and thin we had one library and Saturday morning there and evening sessions sessions at a community centre at the far end of the long thin bit, and one in the main council estate in the centre.

I just looked up the pre 2004 ward map of Sheffield. That was indeed a very strangely shaped ward.

In Rushmoor former UKIP councillor Steve Smith has joined the Labour Group. He represents West Heath ward where in 2012 UKIP won all three seats. Cllr Smith has sat as an Independent for the past six months after leaving UKIP in the summer.

Clearly a man of principle.

I wonder what did motivate the move - he doesn't seem a man of principle with 3 parties in a short space of time and its certainly not for electoral advantage. He will get thrashed if he tries to defend the seat as labour.

A third Barking and Dagenham councillor, Graham Letchford (crazy shirt, crazy guy), has joined UKIP. Clearly a souvenir of a SE Asian holiday.
