West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin has thanked local people who attended an MP Question Time held at Pershore’s Riverside Centre.

The MP fielded questions from local people on a wide range of topics including the local NHS, rural crime, house-building  and local transport during the hour-long session.

Alongside regular surgery sessions for one-to-one advice, Harriett hosts the Meet Your MP events held in public venues across the constituency.

Harriett said:

“I am grateful that people braved the cold weather to come out to question me and share their views.

“It is always useful to hear the opinions of my constituents and I find it heartening that we are able to debate matters of local and national concern in a calm and respectful way.

“I try to be as accessible as possible and I have had lots of positive feedback from these events.

“In my role as Member of Parliament I represent all the people in the constituency and I hope that those people who took the time to attend felt that their views had been expressed and heard.”
