Lynne Featherstone MP said:

“I’m delighted to be nominated for this award. My team and I work hard to make twitter as informative as possible – with tweets on local issues, national news, and my opinions on current affairs.

“It’s a great way to communicate with constituents – and I also follow as many constituents as possible to keep up to date with their local news and opinions.

“Whatever the result of the award, I am proud to me nominated, and we will carry on working to make the page even better!”
