10th March 2026
A Romiley resident has raised concerns after sending a large number of emails to local MP Lisa Smart without receiving a any reply.
The resident says they have written repeatedly over the past year about a range of local issues including planning decisions, environmental concerns, and council matters affecting the Romiley area. According to records shared with the Romiley Gazette, dozens of emails have been sent since early 2025, with many asking the MP to “care to comment” on various issues.
However, the constituent says they have not received any response addressing the questions raised.
The issue has prompted wider questions about how MPs manage constituency correspondence and the resources available to them.
Members of Parliament receive public funding through the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) to run their offices and employ staff to assist with constituency casework. These budgets cover staff salaries, office costs, and other expenses necessary to support communication with constituents.
In recent years, MPs’ staffing and office budgets have increased significantly due to rising workloads and inflation. Across the UK, many MPs now operate offices with several staff members who help manage emails, letters, and casework from residents.
Constituents who feel their concerns have not been addressed are able to follow up with an MP’s office, contact them through alternative channels such as constituency surgeries, or escalate issues through relevant public bodies such as local councils, ombudsmen, or regulatory authorities.
While it is not uncommon for MPs’ offices to prioritise urgent casework, the situation highlights the importance many residents place on receiving acknowledgement or responses when raising local concerns with their elected representatives.
The Romiley Gazette has contacted the office of Lisa Smart for comment regarding how constituency correspondence is handled and whether residents can expect responses to emails sent to the MP’s office.
Residents wishing to share their experiences of contacting their MP are invited to write to the Romiley Gazette.
