Surgeries & other dates

Damian's advice surgeries are generally on:

  • The first Friday each month: Alton and in rotation Four Marks, Liphook, Selborne or Grayshott

  • The third Friday each month: Bordon and Petersfield

Sometimes dates have to be changed because of other commitments.

Appointments are essential.  To make an appointment, please call Beverley on 01420 84122.

In an emergency, if the dates above are too far away, or if you are housebound, I will try to come to you, diary permitting.

Before requesting a surgery appointment please do:

  1. check whether the issue can be sorted direct (see Resources section on the right)

  2. think about whether we could start to help you more quickly if you wrote, phoned or emailed rather than waiting for the surgery

How to find us

Office Locations

House of Commons
Pre-arranged meetings will either be at Central Lobby, if you are at Parliament as part of a mass lobby, or otherwise at Portcullis House atrium.  My office extension number is 7057.

Alton
The Conservative Party's local office is at Alton.  The office is managed by Constituency Agent, Beverley Carpenter, who can be reached on 01420 84122 or office.ehca@pop3.altohiway.com.  The office address is 14a Butts Road, Alton GU34 1ND.  However, to contact me it is quicker (even during recess) to write to him at the House of Commons.

 

Surgeries

Surgeries work on an appointment system.  When you arrive please wait until I come to find you, as I am likely to be with another constituent.

Alton surgeries are at the Maltings.  The surgery itself is held in a room on the lower ground floor.  On arrival please wait in the entry room downstairs.

Bordon surgeries are at the Forest Community Centre.  On arrival please wait by the front desk.

Petersfield surgeries are at the Community Centre.  On arrival please wait in the hallway.

Four Marks surgeries are at the Village Hall, Lymington Bottom.

Liss surgeries are at the Triangle Centre.  You may need to ring the bell on arrival.

Liphook surgeries are at the Millennium Centre, near Sainsbury's

Grayshott and Selborne surgeries.  Venues TBA.

About East Hampshire

The Boundary Commission sits every ten years or so to ensure that representation to the Westminster Parliament remains equal across the whole of the UK. The last re-drawing of boundaries took effect in 2010 and created a new constituency, Meon Valley, represented by George Hollingbery which includes the 'southern parishes' of East Hants District (including Clanfield, Horndean, Rowland's Castle).

The rest of the East Hampshire council area is now all within the East Hampshire parliamentary constituency, including Bordon & Whitehill, Liphook, Grayshott and Headley, which had previously been part of the North East Hampshire constituency.

For chapter & verse on boundaries, we recommend Ordnance Survey's Election Maps website.

For rich detailed information about the area, see East Hampshire District Council’s dataMAP

About Parliament

Parliament's Living Heritage programme offers an insight into the political, social and cultural roles Parliament has played in the development of British society over nearly a thousand years.

You can see more about how Parliament works here.

School trips

Schools trips to the Commons are a very good way of bringing to life how our country is governed. Damian is always pleased to come and speak to student groups from East Hampshire when they visit Westminster. Tours are initially booked through the Palace of Westminster’s education office here.

See more educational resources from the House of Commons here.

Gallery tickets (including Prime Minister's Questions)

Gallery tickets for the Commons chamber are allocated by rota to each of the MPs. If you would like to attend Prime Minister’s Question Time then please contact Damian’s Parliamentary office on 0207 219 7057 so that you can be added to the waiting list. Unfortunately, however, we do generally have a long waiting list.

Tickets for other debates in the Commons chamber are much more readily available and will not always involve a waiting time.
