Skelton Gate is in the Leeds East parliamentary constituency, whose MP is Richard Burgon. The phone number above is his constituency office in Leeds; his Westminster office is on 020 7219 5980.

Your MP is the person to contact about national matters: HMRC, benefits, passports and visas, the DVLA, or a government department that isn’t responding. For local issues such as bins, roads, streetlights, planning and parks, contact the ward councillors first, since those are Leeds City Council’s responsibility.

Include your full address and postcode when you get in touch, as MPs can only take up cases for their own constituents.

Mark Dobson is leader of the Garforth & Swillington Independents Group, for the Garforth and Swillington ward, which Skelton Gate comes under. Mark is also supported by Sarah and Suzanne.

Skelton Gate has no parish or town council (it’s an unparished area), so the ward councillors are the first contact for local issues. For national matters, contact our MP (also listed in this section).
