If you are not sure which constituency you are in try Write to Them, where there is a good page not only to find your own MP and councillor, but also good advice about who can help with different sorts of problems. You may also find this map of the constituency useful. Our Member of Parliament is Sir Gerald Kaufman. He is always ready to do his best to help his constituents with any problems they may bring to him. However, Parliamentary rules prevent him from taking up cases of people who do not live in his constituency. You can contact him by email, by House of Commons telephone at 0207 219 5145 or by letter to the House of Commons London SW1A 0AA., by Personal Assistant telephone at 0161 975 0297, by Helpline at 0161 248 0073, and by fax at 0207 219 6825. If your problem is to do with services provided by Manchester City Council it is probably better to ask your councillor to help first.

The Constituency Labour party normally meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 7.30 pm. The venue changes because we meet in each ward in rotation. Meetings are open to any Labour Party member. If you want to attend, or to join, please contact the agent, Martin Rathfelder. Gorton CLP Young Labour and Manchester Labour Students run much more exciting websites than ours.

The present Gorton Constituency was established in 2006.
