Below are a map and contact details of the elected representatives around the proposed development. It is only by contacting MPs and councillors that they often become aware of important local matters. With the application now with the Mayor, GLA members have increased in importance.

GLA members are there to hold the Mayor to account via membership of Committees. It is best to contact them based on these specialised areas that they will be familiar with.

Please note that MPs and the Council have different responsibilities. The following guidance has been taken from the UK Parliament website:

When should I contact my MP?

MPs can help with issues that are the responsibility of UK Parliament. They represent their constituents and can help with issues such as:

• hospitals and the NHS
• problems with benefits, pensions and national insurance
• immigration
• school closures and funding
• transport facilities

When should I contact my Local Council?

Your local council can help with local issues such as:

• council tax
• housing
• planning
• bins and recycling
• street repairs and parking
• children and families
• schools and learning
