Linda Smith Labour: Blackbird Leys (quoted in Ox Times 07/05/20)
Welcomes the MLD - full of welcome suggestions and important issues.
‘Many of my Labour colleagues hold surgeries, I have tried this but, as often no one turned up, I decided my time was better spent out on the doorstep talking to people. Our former MP Andrew Smith is fond of saying ’The more people we speak to, the more people will vote for us,’ and I think that is true. These hundreds of regular short conversations about what people think about their neighbourhood help us represent our wards effectively and to take action on the issues which matter the most to residents,’
