Casework Statistics 2025
Supporting local residents and responding to the issues that matter most to them remains a central part of my work as your MP.
Over the course of 2025, my team and I have dealt with a significant volume of correspondence, responding to 15,914 emails from constituents across both policy matters and individual casework. In that time, we have successfully resolved 7,830 policy cases and supported residents with a further 1,923 constituency casework enquiries.
This work reflects the wide range of concerns raised by residents across Southgate and Wood Green. My policy enquiries continue to cover key national and international issues, including healthcare, the environment, and international affairs, while constituency casework often focuses on more personal matters requiring direct support.
A large proportion of constituency casework relates to housing, as well as local government services. Alongside this, a significant part of my role involves raising issues with Government departments and public bodies, including the Home Office, the Department for Work and Pensions, and HMRC. My office regularly supports residents with visa and immigration cases, benefits and pensions, healthcare access, transport concerns, and education issues.
There is a huge range of enquiries that my team is able to support constituents with, and we remain committed to ensuring that every resident who gets in touch receives the help and representation they need.
Meeting Huseyin from the New Southgate Food Centre
What a pleasure to meet Huseyin Kaylan from the New Southgate Food Centre! Huseyin recently won the Allwyn Local Retail Champion Award to recognise his exceptional work supporting our local community.
In October, a young man was sadly a victim of a shooting near Huseyin’s shop. He acted immediately, offering first aid and support, saving the man’s life. New Southgate Food Centre was nominated by local residents and customers, with many noting his kindness and community spirit.
I am so pleased that Huseyin’s contribution to New Southgate is not going unnoticed, he is truly an asset to Southgate and Wood Green.
Congratulations Huseyin!
Visit to PureGym Southgate
I have good news for gymgoers in Southgate and Wood Green, PureGym Southgate has had an amazing refurbishment.
It was wonderful to meet the team, including their fantastic manager, Sereen, and have a go on the new Hyrox equipment. It was great to see all the work they are doing to support the health and wellbeing of our community.
