Simon Hughes' Big Survey

Dear friend, It is my great pleasure to send you this survey. This is an opportunity for you to voice your opinions on a range of issues and take part in my campaigns. When I meet people out and about, at advice surgeries or looking through letters and emails, local people are always keen to tell me their views on issues affecting our area, country and world. This survey helps to provide all local residents with a chance to do that. It’s also vitally important that I keep up to date with views from across our community. There are countless people in our area who I’ve known even longer than my 26 years as your MP, and they are a constant source of support and advice to me. But equally, our area is always changing: of over 80,000 voters in North Southwark and Bermondsey, 20,000 are new each year - and it’s always a pleasure to hear from all residents, old and new. I hope you find time to complete this survey and I look forward to hearing your views. Simon Hughes
