Chuka Umunna will be holding a drop-in surgery for constituents at the Streatham Common Sainsbury’s on Saturday 25th February.
This is an opportunity for local residents to drop by and chat about the issues affecting them.
Whether you want to discuss local, national, or even international, events, the surgery will be a great opportunity to talk through what Chuka can do to help.
The surgery will run from 1pm – 3pm at:
Streatham Common Sainsbury’s
480 Streatham High Road
London
SW16 3PY
Please note that this surgery is not appropriate for discussing sensitive personal casework matters, for example immigration or housing cases. In these cases it would be more appropriate for constituents to attend one of the regular advice surgeries Chuka holds across the constituency – bookings are by prior appointment only and you can arrange an appointment by calling 020 8769 5063 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 10am and 1pm.
Chuka’s constituent Clare Skilbeck has sent Chuka this copy of the poster she produced maping Brockwell Park. Clare recently met Chuka at a coffee afternoon he held at the St. Mathew’s Community Centre, and promised to send the poster.
The map’s remarkable detail shows Brockwell Park as it is enjoyed by hundreds of local residents, as well as providing information as to the park’s history. Clare will be supplying the poster shown here, as well as posters of Dulwich Park, Regent’s Park and Brixton, to local businesses which have supported the project and portions of the proceeds will be given to community charities.
Streatham MP Chuka Umunna, who leads Labour’s Shadow Business team, has spoken about the need to support local pubs given the vital contribution they make to both community life and the local economy.

It has now been 18 months since I was elected as the MP for the Streatham constituency and I am immensely proud and honoured to continue to represent our area.
In every corner of the constituency, from Streatham to Clapham, Balham, Brixton and Tulse Hill, I have always believed that our communities are some of the strongest to be found anywhere, and that our future together is one of the brightest.
I know this year may well have been a difficult year for many of you. The economic situation the country faces is a difficult one, and as your MP it is my duty to see that the Government does all it can to resolve this situation.
I know too that many of you have faced particular challenges and rest assured my team and I will continue to do all we can to help as many of my constituents as possible through my work in the constituency.
I look forward to continuing working for the constituency in the New Year. I hope that today at least we can put the difficulties to one side and enjoy those things that are truly important in life; our families, friends, neighbours and communities.
I wish you the happiest of Christmases with your loved ones. I know this will be a special time for many of you, both Christians and non-Christians alike. So I’d like to thank you, at this special time of year, for everything that you do to make our area such a special place to live.
I wish you and all of those closest to you, a very happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
Chuka
