According to the writetothem survey 104 out of 124 respondents heardback from Simon within two weeks putting him in joint 51st place out of 650 MP’s and giving him the highest score of all East Sussex MP’s.

Commenting on the findings, Simon Kirby, said: “I work extremely hard to represent all my constituents in Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven. I do my very best to respond to enquiries promptly. My constituents deserve and, quite rightly expect, a quick response to their query. I will try to do even better but of course some issues are very complex and require longer to provide a full response so I send an acknowledgement card to let people know I am looking into their issue.

I am here to help everybody in the constituency, regardless of how they vote, so if anybody in Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven needs some help, please do get in touch.”

He added: “I aim to be as accessible as possible to constituents. As well as holding my regular constituency advice surgeries I have responded to 45,000 letters, emails and telephone calls since 2010, as well as occasionally making home visits if a constituent is unable to come to see me.”

The Kemptown and Peacehaven MP recently held a constituency advice surgery bus tour around the constituency as well as previously holding stalls at Pride, Kemptown Carnival and Saltdean Fun Day.
