ANGRY parents will get the chance to confront CSA officials in a special surgery being held by Morecambe MP Geraldine Smith.

Geraldine said: "The Government has ordered a thorough overhaul of the Child Support Agency, because of very widespread and justified public dissatisfaction with its performance.

"One of a number of much needed changes in the Agency's approach, is a new willingness to talk directly to ordinary people affected by its rulings, at meetings such as the Morecambe surgery I've arranged."

The surgery will be held at Miss Smith's office at 26-28 Victoria Street on October 4 from 2 pm, and anyone wishing to attend should contact the office on 01524 411367 or 01524 411368, or visit the office which is open Monday to Friday,10 am to 4 pm.
