Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Redcar since May 2010
In the early hours of Friday May 7th I was declared the first ever Liberal Democrat MP for Redcar. Thanks to all of your help I overturned Labour MP Vera Baird's 12,116 majority with a huge swing of 21.8%. This was England's largest swing and the largest swing between any of the three largest parties at the 2010 general election and I could not have achieved this without all your support. I came into politics because I genuinely care about the area that my family and I live in. I am dedicated to being a local MP, and working hard to give the area a much needed voice in Parliament.

The office acts as a point of contact for constituents and through it Ian's team have handled over 1500 pieces of casework on behalf of local people. As well as Ian's face to face surgeries which are held fortnightly (see below) constituents can contact Ian's office on (01642) 495 704 between the hours of 10am and 4pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Constituents can call the same number to arrange an appointment to speak to one of Ian's caseworkers in person between the hours of 10am and midday on Tuesdays. For security reasons office staff cannot accept visitors without an appointment outside of these hours. SurgeriesIan holds surgeries once a fortnight in different places across the constituency; the surgeries are walk in sessions, so therefore it is not necessary to book appointments. The purpose of the surgeries is that you can come along to meet Ian and discuss your views or ask Ian for help or advice on any problems that you might be having. We do ask that you bring along all relevant information/documentation to help Ian gain a better understanding of each individual case. Please find my surgery dates on the link below: Recent updates
