  Perhaps it is in the opportunity to ask rather than the question itself that equality lies. SarahP rightly returns us to the original: yes, all those ways of engaging with voters are good, and it is nice to know they are happening. they probably capture quite a bit more than a surgery - but a surgery along with those ways are tools in the box and ways to manage and audit the councillors and hold them accountable. I understand JHGs work commitments, and I would not suggest that a surgery is the only way to do it, but I am genuinely dismayed that it is such an unaccountable area and that surgeries are not valued. Chris has a good idea: hold them centrally with info handy. And publicise them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
