Local MSP sets up shop in supermarkets

Edinburgh Northern and Leith MSP Ben Macpherson is holding a series of advice surgeries in supermarkets around the constituency. These pop-up surgeries aim to give more constituents the opportunity to talk to Ben about any issues, concerns or ideas they may have.

The Supermarket Surgeries are running in addition to Ben’s regular weekly surgeries, at Leith Library (Mondays 5-6) and Royston Wardieburn Community Centre (Fridays 4-5).

They are scheduled as follows:

  • Friday 2nd November, 2.30-3.30pm, Morrisons Granton
  • Saturday 3rd November, 11-12.30pm, Tesco Broughton Road
  • Friday 16th November, 1.30-3pm, Tesco Duke Street
  • Friday 7th December, 2-3.30pm, Asda Leith.

Ben Macpherson MSP said: “I’ve held two Supermarket Surgeries so far this autumn, as well as my normal weekly advice surgeries, and they’ve been a really good additional way for constituents to talk to me about their concerns, issues or ideas.

“I know not everyone can get to my two regular surgeries each week, or visit my office in Leith, whether it is because of where they live, childcare or other issues. That’s why I’m doing these Supermarket Surgeries, to help make sure that I’m as accessible as I can be to everyone I represent.

“As the local MSP, I’m here to help and if there’s anything you’d like to chat with me about, or even if you’d just like to say hello, I hope to see you at one of these Supermarket Surgeries or another time soon.”
