Meet Scott

It is important to me to be as accessible to all residents in Blackpool South as I possibly can be. I therefore hold regular surgeries by appointment, open surgeries (no appointment needed), pop-up surgeries, and coffee mornings around Blackpool.

Casework

I am able to undertake cases for my constituents on a range of issues, with the help of my team.

Quite often assistance can be given without requiring a meeting, or work may be done in advance of one.

As a Member of Parliament I am best able to assist with matters for which Parliament or central government is responsible such as:

Tax problems involving the HM Revenue and Customs Department.
Problems dealt with by the Department for Work and Pensions such as benefits, pensions and National Insurance.
Problems dealt with by the Home Office, such as immigration.
Problems dealt with by the Department of Health, such as hospitals and the National Health Service (NHS).
Problems dealt with by the Department for Education, such as school closures and grants.

However, I aim to advise on all matters and signpost you to where you can best get help with any other issues, for example, with local Council matters.

Please note that I am not able to settle private disputes with neighbours or employers, nor help in family arguments or some individual consumer matters. I cannot interfere with decisions made in court or the legal process.

These are guidelines only and if you are unsure whether I can assist you, please don’t hesitate to contact the office.

Open & Pop Up Surgeries

No appointment necessary, just drop in and have a chat. For dates, please visit my events page.

Coffee mornings

Come and have a tea/coffee (and a couple of biscuits!) with me for a Q&A session – open to all constituents. Please contact the office to confirm how many would like to attend. This will help us cater for everyone:
