Speaking following event on Friday past the MP said, “I would like to thank Banbridge Orange Hall Committee for kindly granting me the opportunity to host this event (monthly).  It will continue to take place on the first Friday of every month between 2.15 - 4.15pm.  I would like to sincerely thank all those who visited on Friday, some to wish me well, and others with issues needing my assistance.  There was a steady stream for my staff and I to attend too and it was a pleasure meet so many in this short space of time.

I like to be a busy MP and one who does not sit and wait for people to come to me.  I like to take my services to those in need and this allows me alongside Diane Dodd’s full time office in the town, our Councillors and indeed my other two offices in Upper Bann to really ensure that people have access to the help and services they require.

It is always a pleasure to help people and I would encourage people to pencil into their diary the next one which will take place on Friday 5th April.  Alternatively you never have to wait I am contactable at any time via my offices (02838310088), e-mail carlalockhartmp.office@parliament.uk or via my social media outlets or via mobile.”
