LETTER: MLAs must listen to people

The Editor,

Local MLAs Amrik Virk (Surrey-Tynehead) and Peter Fassbender (Surrey-Fleetwood) are not listening, responding to or meeting constituents and/citizens.

I have contacted Virk (my MLA) half a dozen times by email and by phone, and have received one formletter response. In my phone call in early August, the receptionist asked if I were a teacher and then told me he would call me back within two weeks; I heard nothing. Today, I called to make an appointment and was told he will not meet with teachers.

I am a teacher but I'm also a parent, a taxpayer and a constituent. MLAs are meant to be representatives of the people. They need to listen to the public or step down.
