Stevenage's newly-elected MP Kevin Bonavia has launched a monthly online newsletter for the town.

Mr Bonavia, who also represents Knebworth, Codicote, Datchworth, and Aston has created the newsletter to keep in regular contact with residents.

The newsletter will be sent out monthly and will include advice, surgery dates, information about local events, stances on important issues and updates on his work in Parliament.

The MP said: "Join the 500+ local residents already receiving updates from me about the work I am doing to help our town and villages.

Residents can subscribe to the newsletter free of charge (Image: Kevin Bonavia MP) "There is so much happening in the constituency and in Parliament to communicate to you - so this is the best possible way to stay in the loop about all the things that matter to our area.

"I want to prove to local residents that being local, accessible and on your side wasn’t just a slogan - it’s an ethos that I practice every day as your MP."

The newsletter is free of charge and will be sent directly to residents' inboxes.

Residents can sign up for the newsletter by going to https://mailchi.mp/parliament/kbnewsletter or by emailing the MP at kevin.bonavia.mp@parliament.uk and asking to be included.
