MEP launches new initiative to help him communicate with constituents

East Midlands - Local Conservative MEP Roger Helmer has today come up with a novel way of getting his message across to his East Midlands constituents.

Mr Helmer, who already distributes a popular e-newsletter to supporters in the region, was last month named as the most effective MEP at communicating with his constituents. He has now produced a series of short and snappy podcasts available as part of his new podcast service.

The podcasts, which give local people the chance to hear Mr Helmer’s views on a wide variety of often controversial issues, are produced in conjunction with radio station ‘Tory Radio’ and are an innovative way of embracing new technology.

Speaking today, Mr Helmer said:

“In a new initiative designed to help me communicate with the people I represent, I have now recorded a series of short podcasts which you can listen to online or download onto your ipod or MP3 player. They are each about 3 minutes long and are on topical issues that have caught my eye”.

The podcasts are available on this page.
