Do you have a question about your local services? What is happening within your community? Come along and meet your Town Councillors at our bi-monthly surgeries.

The sessions running from 2pm-8pm on two Mondays a month will be held in the new Park View Community Room at the Community Hub, Victoria Park, Malvern Link. These are drop-in sessions, so the public are welcome to come at a time convenient to them and use the free onsite parking.

The session is organised by Malvern Town Council but run directly by the Councillors themselves for the community. This provides a unique opportunity to come and speak with a Town Councillor directly about local services, schemes and what is happening within your community.

The sessions are free to attend with further updates being provided via our social media channels.
