I would like to wish everyone in West Oxfordshire and beyond a peaceful, prosperous and Happy New Year.

It's great to be back in West Oxfordshire for Christmas Recess, as we look forward to spending this special time of year with our loved ones.

I hope you all have a glorious time with your families and friends.
