More than 600 residents have signed up to receive a weekly newsletter launched by the Hitchin MP.

The newsletter, launched by Alistair Strathern, aims to keep residents up-to-date with his activities in Hitchin and Westminster.

The inaugural edition was sent out on September 9, with subsequent editions reaching constituents' inboxes every Monday at 5pm.

Mr Strathern said: "Launching my newsletter has been a fantastic way to connect with my constituents.

"It is a great medium to share the work I have been doing for our towns and villages.

"It offers me an outlet to share my priorities and the progress we are making to improve the issues people in our constituency care most about.

"It is vital as an MP to be transparent and to be accountable to your constituents. This tool enables me to do just that."

Each issue of the newsletter provides a summary of the Labour MP's weekly activities, including his visits, meetings, and parliamentary work.

It also contains images, key votes and links to his speeches in the Commons.

Contact information and details on how to meet Mr Strathern are also included.
