A Word From Gavin Williamson...............

Westminster seems to get lit up with Christmas lights earlier and earlier each year, which can only mean one thing, the countdown towards the festive season has already begun. Our thoughts will have already turned to our Christmas celebrations and the time we spend with our family, friends and neighbours during this special time of year.

I am already looking forward to attending the wide array of festive celebrations that we have here in Wombourne. There is something about Christmas that here in South Staffordshire that makes even the most Scrooge-like person done a Santa Hat and join in with the countless Christmas activities we have planned every year. Although Christmas is a time of reflection, it is also my busiest time of year attending Christmas light ceremonies and Christmas tree judging competitions to Christmas carol services, Christmas carol singing, Christmas dinners, Christmas drinks and the signing of 600 Christmas cards, the life of an MP is never still at this time of year.

2015 has been one of the busiest years since being elected as your Member of Parliament, with the election in May and the many local campaigns I have taken up on behalf of residents. It has been one of many challenges, but also many highlights, such as the victory in our campaign to save three fire stations across the constituency and also meeting the Queen for the second time when I was made a Privy Counsellor back in May. This year I have also had the privilege to visit so many organisations that take care of those who need that little bit of extra support, especially during these winter months and I am so thankful for the invaluable work that they do. I would urge everyone in South Staffordshire to take some time to do the same. Every Christmas it is wonderful to so many Wombourne residents come together in celebration of the festive season and I hope that you all have the most wonderful Christmas and wish you all the best for 2016.
