Advice

If you are an Edmonton resident, Kate may be able to help with a problem you are having. However, Kate is unable to help personally with disputes between individuals and private companies, ongoing legal cases and overturning decisions made by the courts. Kate can often make representations on your behalf without needing to meet with you. However, if you would like to discuss arranging a surgery appointment, please email edmontonconstituency@parliament.uk . 

Council Services

If your query involves Enfield Council services e.g. housing, parking, bin collection you will need to contact your local ward councillors first who can raise the issue with Enfield Council. You can find out the contact details of your local councillors here.

Housing

If you have a housing related issue, please contact one of your local Councillors first. You may also wish to contact Shelter who can provide free and independent advice on your housing rights and options.

Immigration

Kate may be able to help with immigration matters. She is not able to provide legal advice or help with form filling but can make enquiries about the progress of applications with the Home Office. Where necessary, Kate can also make representations in support of an ongoing appeal.
