I received the first reply today from the assorted MPs, MSPs and whatnot to whom I'd written the other week about the impending development on the nearby community garden (see 3rd March entry and the one linked to from there for details). Rather annoyingly, my constituency MSP (for it was he) informs me that although I live in his constituency, the garden isn't in his constituency so he can't do anything about it, other than writing to the appropriate councillor on my behalf (if he'd bothered to read my letter properly he would see that I'd already done that myself, as I informed him in the opening sentence of all the people to whom my letters were being addressed). A much more helpful thing for him to do would be to inform the Scottish Parliament website MSP searchy doodah thingy (technical term) about the constituency boundary - being aware that I live near the border of the constituency, but not being entirely sure where the border was exactly, I put in both my postcode and that of the garden road and both times it said that the MSP was the same. Bah.
