RESIDENTS will have the opportunity to directly question their MP during a Facebook live question and answer session later this month.

Rachel Maclean will be live on her Facebook page, facebook.com/RedditchRachel, from 11am until 11.30am on Friday, August 31, to answer questions.

Residents are encouraged to submit their questions before Rachel goes live on Facebook.

Residents can send their questions to rachel.maclean.mp@parliament.uk no later than Friday, August, 24, to allow for detailed answers.

Ms Maclean said: “I’m always looking for new and innovative ways to be as available as possible for my constituents to contact me.

"My Facebook live Q&A session will be a great way to directly ask me a question and to hold me to account as your voice in Parliament.

“I will be answering questions posted during the interview, but for detailed answers I would encourage residents to submit their questions beforehand.

“I look forward to receiving your questions and answering them live on Facebook on August 31st!”
