Local Havant MP Alan Mak has launched a series of “meet and greet” public meetings to meet residents informally and discuss local and national issues.
The events will be held across the Havant constituency, both during the working week and weekends, and at different types of venue from community halls to local pubs.
The events are designed to be informal opportunities for Alan Mak MP to listen to local residents’ views in a relaxed setting. Having been in the job for four months, Alan has received numerous requests from residents who do not have a specific personal issue they need resolving, but who are interested in discussing local issues or general national issues such as the economy.
All events are free, any resident is welcome to drop-in, and no prior registration is required.
Residents can attend any event even if it is not in their area (e.g. Emsworth resident can attend the Springwood Centre event)
The first event takes place on Friday 18 September between 5.30-7PM at the Wheelwright’s Arms pub in central Havant.
The second event will be an afternoon tea & cakes meeting at the Springwood Community Centre, Stakes, Waterlooville on Saturday 19 September between 4-6PM.
Alan Mak MP said, “I enjoy meeting local residents and hearing their views on local and national issues. These new meet and greet events allow me to engage with residents in a relaxed and informal setting.”
Mak added, “I organised similar events during the election campaign, and I’m keen to stay accessible and in-touch with local residents now I’m the MP.”
