A pop up advice surgery was held at Pembroke Dock Tesco today (6 March), giving local residents the chance to raise concerns, seek guidance, and discuss community issues face to face with Member of the Senedd, Samuel Kurtz.
The session offered an informal and accessible way for people to engage, ask questions, and receive help on a range of matters. Shoppers and residents stopped by throughout the event, taking the opportunity to share concerns about the planned changes to services at Withybush Hospital, to learn more about Samuel’s ongoing work in the community, and to receive an update on progress towards securing a banking hub for the area.
Speaking after the session, Samuel Kurtz MS said:
“These drop-in surgeries are vital for ensuring open communication and staying connected to the day-to-day experiences of local people. The latest set of service changes at Withybush Hospital were the number one topic of conversation today. Everyone is talking about it, everyone is concerned, and people want to see action.”
He added:
“Events like this are an important reminder that many issues affecting our community, from access to healthcare at Withybush to banking services, have a real impact on people’s daily lives. It is important that residents have the opportunity to raise their concerns directly and know that someone is listening.”
Samuel also thanked residents who stopped to speak with him during the session.
“I am always grateful to everyone who takes the time to come over for a chat, whether it is to raise a concern, ask for help, or simply to share their views. These conversations help shape the work I do on behalf of our community.”
