The Contact page lists ways of contacting Phil Hope. However, your MP may not always be the best person to help you. He is there to help with those matters for which Parliament or central government is responsible. For example, he may help with issues such as school closure but not with day to day problems involving schools, which would be the responsibility of governors and the LA. If you are unsure of where to go for help, try your local Citizen's Advice Bureau who will be able to guide you.

Phil Hope has published two leaflets to help local people know what help is available to them from the Government.
One leaflet outlines what assistance there is for Older People - health and Council tax help, pensions, free television licences and so on and the other lists where families and people with children can get help and information on the new Child Trust Fund, Sure Start, the Working Tax Credit etc.
Use the links below to see the leaflets online or contact Phil's office to ask for a copy of either leaflet to be put in the post to you.
