Locals brand meeting with London MP 'a flop' after 'facing an hour wait to see him'
Briefly

Residents of Rotherhithe expressed dissatisfaction with a local engagement event held by MP Neil Coyle, where attendees reported excessively long wait times leading to some leaving in frustration. The event, intended as a joint surgery with the police, was miscommunicated, with many expecting a public meeting but instead receiving one-to-one meetings. This disappointment led to claims of the event being a 'flop,' as residents felt they gained no crucial information on crime-related concerns and faced a chaotic setup. The MP defended the event's structure, emphasizing prior advertising, yet residents felt unheard.
I just wanted to hear about phone theft and how things were progressing with crime. It was a complete waste of my time.
The meeting was like trying to get into a nightclub at three in the morning. It was an absolute disaster from start to finish.
