 Can I help?

Please write to me at:
Damian Hinds MP
House of Commons
London SW1A 0AA

or email:
damian.hinds.mp@parliament.uk

or phone: 0207 219 7057.

If your case is urgent, please email and phone as well.  Before getting in touch, you could try the Resources panel on the Info page, to see if your issue can be more quickly dealt with direct.

For complex cases on benefits, housing, CSA and healthcare matters, it may be better to meet face to face.  I hold regular surgeries in Bordon, Alton and Petersfield, and on a rotation basis around some of the larger villages. The schedule is on the Info page of this web site.  To book an appointment, please contact Beverley on 01420 84122.

As an MP please note that I am unable to take up issues connected with planning applications.
