Hampton Parish Councils next Councillor Surgery will be held on Saturday 25th April from 10.00am – 11.00am on the 2nd Floor, Hampton Leisure Centre, Clayburn Road
This new initiative provides residents with the opportunity to meet Parish Councillors in person, discuss local matters, and raise any concerns or suggestions they may have. Whether you want to talk about community issues, local facilities, planning comments, or ideas for improving Hampton, Councillors will be available to listen and help where they can.
The Parish Council hopes this drop‑in approach will make it easier for residents to connect with us and ensure the community has a stronger voice in local decision‑making.
