How do I get in touch?

The best way to contact me is by emailing alison.mcgovern.mp@parliament.uk, filling out the form on this website, or calling my office on 0151 645 6590. Email is preferred as it helps us respond more efficiently.

Due to strict parliamentary protocol, I can only help with enquiries from constituents who live in Birkenhead. If you're unsure whether you live within the constituency, you can check here.

If you're contacting me about my work as Minister of State for Local Government and Homelessness, you'll need to send your correspondence to psalisonmcgovern@communities.gov.uk.

My constituency office is unable to advise on or process requests relating to ministerial responsibilities.

I can help with issues relating to government departments and public services, things like housing, benefits, healthcare, asylum cases, or immigration cases.

I can't get involved in private disputes, legal matters, or issues with local councils (though I can sometimes help if you've exhausted the council's complaints process)

I hold weekly surgeries for constituents to discuss issues face-to-face. Due to the number of requests we receive, we prioritise surgery appointments based on the urgency and complexity of each case.

If you'd like to request a meeting, please contact my office by emailing alison.mcgovern.mp@parliament.uk.
