Has anyone ever got a response from a MP when you raise a local issue with them via Twitter?

Or do you really have to write a letter.

Yes every time I've tweeted him he's responded or one of his team.

lucky you- but was it to query a policy or how he intended to vote for something or was it about something that needed to be done locally?

From what I have seen it can be a mixture.

I guess it can be difficult to reply to something in 140 odd characters.

Done it a number of times for different things. He has followed a couple up by ringing me as well.
