Lockhart Encourages Constituents to Continue Engaging Through Monthly Advice Clinics

Carla Lockhart MP • May 6, 2026

Upper Bann MP, Carla Lockhart, has praised the continued success of her monthly advice clinics across the constituency and encouraged local people to continue reaching out for support on the issues affecting them.

The clinics, held monthly in both Loughgall and Banbridge, continue to attract residents seeking help and advice on a wide range of issues, including healthcare, benefits, housing, farming matters and local concerns.


Speaking following another busy clinic day, Carla Lockhart MP said:


“My monthly advice clinics continue to provide an important opportunity for people to raise issues directly with me and my team, and it is encouraging to see so many constituents continuing to engage.


“No matter how big or small the issue may seem, I would encourage people not to hesitate to get in touch. Too often people feel they have to struggle on or wait until a situation becomes more serious before seeking support. My office is always here to help.


“These clinics are about being accessible and ensuring people have the opportunity to speak face-to-face about the issues impacting them, whether that relates to health, benefits, housing, education or any other matter of concern.


“I remain committed to being available and accessible across Upper Bann, and I look forward to continuing these clinics on the first Friday of every month.”


The monthly advice clinics take place:


 Sloan’s House, Main Street, Loughgall
First Friday of every month | 10am – 11:30am


 Banbridge Orange Hall
First Friday of every month | 2:15pm – 4:15pm


Constituents unable to attend are reminded that they can contact Carla Lockhart MP’s office directly at any time for assistance.
