Stewart Stevenson MSP with his Mobile Office being welcomed to Whitehills by local councillor Glen Reynolds.
Banffshire & Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson completed his annual surgery tour last week, clocking-up nearly 40 surgeries in communities across the constituency.
During last year’s tour, the SNP MSP reached a significant milestone when he held his 1000th surgery for constituents.
Commenting, Stewart said: “Most of the casework I receive from constituents these days comes in via e-mail, post or by phone, but I think it’s still very important to be available for face-to-face discussions in people’s own communities and the Surgery Tour serves that purpose very well.
“People brought a range of issues to me, which I am progressing with the relevant authorities.
“Over the years, many thousands of people have been in touch through one of my surgeries. It’s not always possible to achieve the outcome that people are seeking with a particular issue or problem, but on many occasions, simply the act of writing a letter on Parliamentary-headed paper on someone’s behalf is enough to make the powers that be or private companies sit up and pay attention to someone’s problem.
"Being able to help people in this way is both a pleasure and a privilege and I’m pleased to be able to do so.
Arrangements are already being made for Stewart’s next round of surgeries, which will take place next month.
