After a battle to keep benefit surgeries in Faringdon I'm pleased to say that the Vale District Council has announced dates for the next two suchevents. They will be held on Thursday 24th June and Thursday 29th July, bothbetween 0930hrs and 1200hrs in the Corn Exchange. No appointment isnecessary, and they are open to anyone who has questions about housing orcouncil tax benefits or needs assistance completing benefit application forms.
