Armed Forces Community Covenant

Oxfordshire has become the first area in the country to launch the Armed Forces Community Covenant scheme.  Read the press release here.  I was in attendance this morning at the ceremony and signed the covenant along with other councillors and officials who came along to the event.  

Then, this afternoon, it was the 'Raising of the Flag' ceremony which takes place every year in the run up to Armed Forces Day.  I am pleased to see the support given to our armed forces in Oxfordshire with £100K being given in our budget this year - we must show our appreciation for all they do on our behalf.
