“I think you'll find that M.Ps have very little influence on the local council, although there is nothing stopping her contacting the council on this issue.” Yes – but I am talking about the will and tenacity of an MP to assist her constituents. If Mary has  exhausted all channels it implies that it is pointless to have an MP of one political party if the Council within its constituency is controlled by another party. Whilst I was never a fan of Ann Keen, and I believe the expenses scandal surrounding her to be abhorrent,  she did at least have the will and the energy to tackle our Council on issues which effected her constituents. She had no fear of hauling the Environment Director and other senior officers, together with residents, into Westminster to answer to the Secretary of State for Environment,  to (attempt) to  explain themselves and their lethargy / lack of effective action. Residents were able to contribute and indeed watch ‘tiger woman’  in action and speaking up for residents whilst openly criticising Council Officers, taking them to task and holding them fully accountable.  And…interestingly for a politician …. No photoshoots or PR.  Just an MP doing her job!!  Is there any evidence of our MP having done similar? The Conservative government is currently in power –  could Senior Council Officers / Directors  refuse to attend any meetings if ‘invited’ to do so by our MP?
