Carla Lockhart MP • February 11, 2025

Carla Lockhart MP has thanked all those who attended her monthly advice clinics in Banbridge and Loughgall on Friday past, highlighting the importance of these sessions in providing direct support to local people. ๏ปฟ

Held on the first Friday of every month, the clinics offer an opportunity for constituents to seek assistance on a wide range of issues, including health, education, housing, government services, benefits, and planning matters. Carla has also confirmed that additional clinics will be introduced in the coming weeks to further improve accessibility for those in need. 


Speaking following the clinics she said; 


“I want to sincerely thank everyone who attended my recent advice clinics in Banbridge and Loughgall. These sessions are an essential way for people to raise concerns, ask for help, and get the support they need. 


“The strong turnout each month reinforces the value of these clinics, and I remain committed to ensuring people have access to advice and assistance locally. With that in mind, I will be announcing additional clinics in the coming weeks—so stay tuned for more details! 


“While these clinics are a great opportunity to meet in person, I also want to remind people that you do not need to wait until the next session to get in touch. My team and I are available at any time through my offices, social media, mobile, or email. If you need help, please reach out—we are here to assist.”
