Upcoming

Coffee afternoons

Each month, I host an informal coffee afternoon in a different part of Thurrock. These events are a great way for us to have a conversation about the issues that matter to you.

I focus the meetings on an issue of concern for residents, inviting local organisations to attend and offer guidance. It’s an opportunity to hear directly from residents about the issues they’re encountering, discuss what can be done about it, and see how I can take these away to create change.

I want to hear from you and answer your questions. The dates for my upcoming coffee afternoons are listed below.

I send personal invitations as physical letters to people who live close to the venues. I will be hosting these across Thurrock, to give as many people as possible the opportunity to attend.

If you’d like to come to a coffee afternoon and have not received an invite or want to suggest a topic we could discuss in you area, please just drop me an email at jen.craft.mp@parliament.uk.

By coming together for these coffee afternoons, we can get work together to make our communities stronger, more connected, and better for everyone.

Street meetings

Street meetings are informal get-togethers held on your street, in a local park, or even in a nearby school. They're a chance for me to bring residents together with the right people to talk about the issues in your area that might be causing concern and explore practical ways to tackle the problem.

Street meetings I've already held:

West Thurrock & South StiffordDirt bikes - with Essex Police
Little Thurrock BlackshotsFires and antisocial behaviour in Hangman's Wood / the Deneholes

If you live near one of these areas, I'll be sending you a personal invitation by letter. If you haven't received one but would like to attend, please just drop me an email at jen.craft.mp@parliament.uk.
