When Boris took office just under three months ago, his key pledge - to negotiate a new Brexit deal, ‘bin the backstop’, and take the UK out of the EU on 31st October - was met with scorn in Brussels and much of Westminster.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s Parliamentary vote on the Prime Minister’s new Brexit deal, Robert said:

“The Prime Minister has battled against all odds and secured a great new deal for our country.

West Oxfordshire District Council's (WODC) cabinet is due to pass a proposal at a meeting today, outlining three potential schemes for installing more electric car charging points in West Oxfordshire.

In his first week in office, the Prime Minister established an Office for Veterans’ Affairs at the heart of government.

This creation was part of a government commitment to ensure world-class provision of life-long veterans’ care services in this country.

Earlier today, the Government introduced the Environment Bill to Parliament.

This landmark Bill will tackle the biggest environmental priorities of our time, signalling a historic step change in the way we protect and enhance our precious natural environment.

Robert has welcomed the announcement of a recruitment drive which will see Thames Valley Police recruit an additional 183 police officers in 2020-21.

For decades, congestion on the A40 has been one of the biggest issues in West Oxfordshire. I have described the traffic problems on the A40 as being a "millstone around West Oxfordshire's neck" - hampering our businesses and causing misery for motorists. 

Yesterday evening I attended a briefing with the Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay at 10 Downing Street. It is clear that the proposals the Government has presented to the EU are workable, reasonable and demonstrate our desire for a deal.

Robert has continued his efforts to deliver the B4044 Community Cycle Path between Eynsham and Botley, visiting the site of the proposed path with Oxfordshire County Council Leader, Ian Hudspeth, Eynsham District Councillor, Ed James, and Oxford West & Abingdon Candidate James Fredrickson.
