Casework

If you need help with any issues ranging from immigration and housing, to benefits and unemployment, please do not hesitate to contact me. I receive hundreds of emails a month from constituents and my casework team and I will do everything we can to advocate for Coventry South constituents, no matter the case at hand.

Below are a series of links and contact details for various organisations across the city, and online resources which may be able to help you or answer any questions you have.

To raise casework with me, please email coventrysouth@parliament.uk including your address, details of your case and any further information or reference numbers that may be relevant to your case. Please be aware that I can only take on the cases of constituents of mine in Coventry South and that as an MP’s office we do not hold statutory powers.
