December Councillor's Surgery

Published: 04 December 2024

Saturday 7th of December will see the next Town Councillor’s Surgery take place at Banbury Town Hall, with Banbury residents once again invited to meet their local representatives and express and discuss opinions and issues that affect them as well as their wider community.

This open house session is the latest in the monthly opportunities that encourage local voters to get to know their councillors, as well as discuss problems, provide feedback, and ask questions about how Banbury Town Councillor services are run.

The representatives present at this month’s Surgery will be Councillor Balbir Dhesi of Easington North and Councillor Andrew Eaton of Park Road. Both Councillors represent the labour party.

As with previous surgeries, these councillors will be on hand to advise and update residents on issues that are directly related to council responsibility, both in their own constituencies and the wider Banbury area. The Banbury Town Councillors have a number of responsibilities that include a wide range of facilities designed to benefit members of the community from every corner of the town.

As a reminder to the public, Banbury Town Council’s responsibilities include Banbury parks, play areas, cemeteries, sports grounds, dog litter bins, allotments, open spaces, bush shelters, annual events, civic events, and the running of Town Hall. The Council also assists in numerous crime prevention initiatives.

While all Banbury residents are encouraged to attend surgeries personally, those that cannot make it to Town Hall on Saturday 7th December can rest assured that there will be numerous future opportunities to do so in the future. Banbury Town Councillor surgeries take place every first Saturday of the month except for January and August. This means that this will not only be the last Councillor Surgery of 2024, but also the last one until Saturday 8th of February.

Which Councillor is due to meet the public is decided by a set rota.

Banbury Town Council encourages all Banbury residents to consult the council website at www.banbury.gov.uk or email at info@banbury.gov.uk for the latest news and information – updates and events will also be posted to Facebook (Banbury Town Council) and Instagram (@banburyevents).
