Tony Wright MP
I am glad to feature on the Winterton-on-Sea Parish Council website, which will provide an excellent way for constituents to keep in touch with what's going on within their parish. The site is packed with information about local history, activities, facilities, groups, clubs, organizations, and businesses.
I would like to make you aware of a website that I have recently launched to keep you in touch with my work on behalf of your parish and the Great Yarmouth constituency as a whole.
You can see all this information by visiting my website at http://www.anthonywright.labour.co.uk
My site is designed to keep you in better touch with me as your MP. Here you will find useful information on the services I can provide on your behalf. Importantly for me, this site is another way in which I can be better informed about the issues that matter to you on a day to day basis. I would therefore encourage you to use this site as a way for you to gain access to me as your local MP.
As part of Labour's 'Big Conversation' I want to reach out to the local community and gain constituents views on real issues that affect their day-to-day lives.
The website will provide information on my activities in the community and at Westminster, regular press releases and articles on local and national issues, including information on my current campaigns.

Before entering Parliament, Tony was a full time Labour Party Organiser from 1983 to 1997.

Tony was appointed as PPS to Ruth Kelly as Financial Secretary to the Treasury in 2002 before resigning his position due to the conflict with Iraq.

Surgeries:
Information cards will be distributed throughout Great Yarmouth in the forthcoming months. These cards will include information on the times of Tony's advice surgeries, contact addresses and numbers for constituents wanting to reach Tony was well as information on the website. It is hoped this will encourage people to get in touch with Tony so he can add to the growing numbers of people he is able to help daily.
On the first and third Friday of the month Tony holds advice-surgeries in his constituency office, where constituents who have made an appointment can meet and talk to Tony. On the second and fourth Fridays of the month these advice-surgeries go out and about in the constituency, where anyone is invited to attend. On the rare occasion where Tony is unable to attend an advice-surgery one of his caseworkers will be present.
Due to the popularity of his twice-monthly roaming constituency advice-surgeries Tony has also launched a new surgery which will open in Belton Community Centre, Moorland Way, Belton from 10:30 - 11:30 every second Saturday of the month.
For more up-to-date information on Tony's availability or to book an appointment outside of advice-surgery hours, constituents should call Jackie Dixon, Tony's Diary Secretary, on 01493 332291.
