Okehampton Town Council is holding its first trial 'surgery' this month to give residents a chance to ask questions and raise issues with local councillors.

The surgeries will take place on the third Thursday of every month between 10am and 12 noon and will be hosted by Cllr Jan Goffey and the deputy mayor, Cllr Deborah Sanger. The first session is scheduled for January 20.

The sessions can be face-to-face in Okehampton Town Hall or virtual but either way must be booked in advance by contacting the office on 01837 53179 or [email protected].

Meetings outside these times can be arranged for those unable to attend in the surgery hours.
