LibDem Councillor Surgeries

If you would rather speak face-to-face with a City Councillor rather than call us or email us (see the contact details) then you might like to know about the Liberal Democrat drop in Surgery every week.

The City Councillors take it in turns to be at the Guildhall between 12.30 and 1.30 every Friday.

It isn't always a King's Hedges' team member, but whoever it is will take details and offer advice, and if needed pass on details to us to help out. Of course if the Guildhall on a Friday lunch isn't possible then give us a call or email to arrange an appointment or see if we can help.
