COUNCILLORS ADVICE BUREAU'S MAY BE NEEDED MORE THAN EVER?

I was pleased the other day when, I found out that Councillor Barbara Dring and I are, if not the most economical, then one of very best, when it comes to the cost of hiring rooms for out advice Bureau’s

We both firmly believe unlike some councillors it is very important to give residents the opportunity to meet on a one to one basis with their councillors.

Councillors should not hide away from hearing what their resident have to say and there are times when a one to one service is badly needed.

At a time when Neighbourhood Offices and even the CAB are under financial threat of closure because of the current Councils funding policies,(although we can not possibly replace their expertise,) a Councillor’s services may be needed more than ever.

Councillor Barbara Dring and my advice Bureau times are as follows.
(We may rotate and make every effort to get to our surgeries)

Most Saturday Mornings at the 610 Community Centre at 10.30am (Keith)
The first Wednesday in the month at the 610 Community Centre 7pm (Barbara)
The first Thursday in the month at the Perry Common Library 3pm (Barbara)

We also carry out home visits for those with genuine mobility problems.

Ring 360 6486 or 360 7565 for details
