Carla Lockhart MP • August 6, 2024

Upper Bann MP, Carla Lockhart has committed to continuing her monthly advice clinic in Banbridge Orange Hall (kindly granted) on the first Friday of every month following the Westminster election. Determined to continue assisting as many constituents as possible, Carla is committed to addressing the concerns and needs of the local community right in the heart of the community. 

Speaking post the clinic she said, “It was great to be joined by my colleague, Councillor Paul Greenfield, at our latest session.  This advice clinic is held at Banbridge Orange Hall (kindly granted) on the first Friday of every month from 2:15 PM to 4:15 PM. I encourage everyone to come along and discuss any issues they may have.  It is always great to get into the very heart of communities with such clinics and help on issues relating to health, education, community, business etc.  My August clinic once again was busy and confirms the need that exists within communities. 


Whilst this is a monthly clinic in which I am present to assist constituents are also welcome to reach out at any time through my offices in Lurgan and Portadown, as well as via social media, mobile, and WhatsApp.  Additionally we have a DUP office in Banbridge run by Diane Dodds MLA.  I am always here to help not just at election time but all the time.”
