Moray West MP Graham Leadbitter officially opens Elgin office
Graham Leadbitter has had an opening ceremony at his constituency office on Wards Road in Elgin.
The long-serving Moray councillor became MP for the newly-created area of Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey at the general election in July.
The opening ceremony was attended by local councillors and charitable organisations from across the region.
Mr Leadbitter said: “Whilst the constituency office has been used for a number of weeks already it’s great to have it marked with an official opening.
“It will be regularly open to the public, and a centre for my surgeries here in Elgin.
“Since July my team and I have helped and responded to over 3000 local people on top of the regular parliamentary duties in Westminster.
“I look forward to continuing to stand up for local people, regardless of who they voted for in July, and serve this vibrant community. It’s an enormous privilege to have been elected to serve this constituency.”
Also at the ceremony was Moray’s MSP Richard Lochhead MSP, who said: “Graham has hit the ground running since being elected and has been a fantastic champion for this area and local people.
“In the short time since his election he’s managed to help thousands of people, and has put himself at the forefront of the defence and support of local industries, particularly Scotch Whisky, ably standing up for investment and jobs here against the threats posed by the Westminster Labour government.
“I’m delighted his office has now opened and look forward to continuing to work alongside him to stand up for people in Moray.”
