Office Changes

From Monday 19th October Hornchurch and Rainham MP James Brokenshire will be transferring his constituency casework and support operation from Hornchurch to Westminster as part of transitional arrangements in advance of the next General Election.  As a result of boundary changes the Hornchurch constituency will be abolished when the Prime Minister calls the election - expected to be no later than the end of March next year. The changes - whilst maintaining all existing constituency support functions - are intended to help manage the six month transitional period leading up to James Brokenshire ceasing to be the MP for Hornchurch and Rainham.

All telephone calls and post will be transferred to the Westminster office.  The changes will not affect James's regular advice surgeries which will continue to be held at venues across the constituency.

Commenting James said:

"The harsh reality is that I will cease to be the MP for this area from next spring and it seemed sensible to try to manage the transitional period appropriately.  Constituents shouldn't notice any change in the service they currently receive from my office as virtually all queries are dealt with by email, phone or letter.  Having my support team all in one place may actually improve the response to complaints and queries in some ways.

"It is important that I remain available to meet local residents to discuss their problems and my constituency advice surgeries will ensure that the continuity of service is maintained.  Equally, I will continue to fight for the issues that matter to my constituents whilst I remain as the MP for Hornchurch and Rainham in the same way that I have done for the last four and a half years."

With effect from 19 October, James Brokenshire's contact details for all enquiries will be House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA, Telephone: 020 7219 8400, email: brokenshirej@parliament.uk
