SIR - In March 2007 I had a stroke, leaving me half paralysed and besides several physical challenges that I had to overcome, I have also been inundated with various other bureaucratic problems.

Problems that completely overwhelmed me and in sheer desperation I wrote to our local MP, Mrs Anne Main and in each instance she was willing to intercede on my behalf which resulted in my problems being satisfactorily resolved.

I am most grateful and it is most pleasing to have an MP intercede on behalf of one of her constituents.
