MPS LAUNCH NEW COMMUNITY WEBSITE

November 14, 2006 12:00 AM

Lorely Burt MP and Caroline Spelman MP joined forces in Dickens Heath recently to promote the launch of a new community website set up by former Tae Kwon-Do Martial Arts World Champion, Steve Merricks and his wife, Gill.

The husband and wife team have set up the website called about my area/b90 to promote local clubs, organisations and businesses. The site will also contain local interest stories and reviews.

Gill Merricks said:

"We thought the idea of the site was a good way to try and bring the community closer together and Shirley at the moment has a lot of issues. We hope to give everyone in the area a voice."

Lorely Burt MP said:

The new website carries all the community information you need to know for Shirley and the surrounding area: school term times, MP's and councillor's surgeries, where to eat and where to shop if you are looking for something different. Steve and Gill are well known for their charity work and should be congratulated for putting even more back into their local community through this website."

    If you are a resident of the Solihull constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
