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. 

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.

“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.”
