Lockhart opens new Portadown office

Carla Lockhart MP • August 8, 2023

Local Member of Parliament Carla Lockhart has officially opened her new Portadown Advice Centre, on the Armagh Road.

Speaking at the opening this week, the DUP representative said:


“It is fantastic to be opening a permanent base in Portadown, offering my constituency service on a full-time basis to the people of the town and surrounding area. 


Since becoming MP I have had a huge amount of contact from people in Portadown and I wanted to build upon this by having an easily accessible, local office. This is now the case. Appointments are advisable, but anyone can call in if passing and my staff and I will be only too happy to help in any way we can. The office will operate on a full time basis (9 - 5) and is contactable by phone (02838310088), drop in or e-mail. 


Serving the community is a priority for me as MP. These are challenging times for so many people, and I want to assure people that I am here to help. So please use this new office - call in if we can help with benefits, housing, engagement with our health service or schools, or with roads issues. We will always do our absolute best to secure a positive outcome.


I am determined to provide the best service right across Upper Bann to all my constituents, and my new office in Portadown is a key part of that service.”


The new office is at Office 5, Datos Business Park, 20 Armagh Road, Portadown BT62 3DP (opposite the Go Service Station).
