David Johnston, MP for Wantage and Didcot said: “This December has been particularly special for me as it marks four years since my election as MP for Wantage and Didcot. It has been a huge honour and privilege to represent the country's best constituency.

“It has also been four years of big challenges for the country, from Covid to the cost of living, and I'm very proud to have handled more than 43,500 cases for local people while visiting 600 local organisations and running events for young and old.

“Looking back on the last year, I am pleased with the progress made on a number of my campaigns. We took another step forward on health services with my Health Services Survey, which thousands of you responded to and which was followed with me holding a debate in Parliament on health services in Wantage and Didcot.

“My petition to re-open Grove Station was signed by 2,127 of you and I will be meeting the Rail Minister in the near future to discuss this again with him.

“My campaigning for more renewable energy run by the local community led to the creation of the new £10 million Government Community Energy Fund which will hopefully benefit groups across Oxfordshire.

“Meanwhile, my campaign for justice for our local AEAT pensioners resulted in me securing the first ever independent investigation into their case, as well as a Parliamentary inquiry.

“In 2024, I will be continuing campaigns on infrastructure issues like GP surgeries, Grove Station, and our roads (remember to fill out my Local Roads Survey on my website) as well as my other priorities like protecting our environment, tackling anti-social behaviour, and improving opportunities for children and young people.

“Until then, I wish you a very Happy New Year!"

Layla Moran, MP for Oxford West and Abingdon said: "I hope everyone in Oxfordshire has had a very Happy Christmas. I have enjoyed spending time with my family, enjoying some good food and looking back on the year.

“This year has been challenging for lots of people across our community. Public services are stretched to breaking point, the cost of living crisis is putting real pressure on families’ finances, and it can often feel like there is no one to help when things go wrong.

“I have been working hard to raise your top priorities in Parliament. I have spoken about the damage done to our local environment by Thames Water’s sewage dumping, raised the complete lack of NHS dentists, and questioned Ministers over the chronic underfunding of SEND services.

“My hope is that next year brings a general election and the chance to deliver the change the country needs."
