2018 New Year Opening of Children's Centre in Wheatley


I was delighted to start January 2018 with a number of official engagements, not least the opening of one of our Children's Centres at Wheatley.  This photograph shows me at The Maple Tree Children's Centre for the official opening of the centre where families can come on a weekley basis to enjoy the facilities on offer.

I am looking forward to the possibility that we shall be launching our own official opening in Grove and Wantage, after our own centre was saved from closure thanks to a grant which we applied for from Oxfordshire County Council.  We are now running sessions in Grove at St. John's Parish Church Hall as well as The Beacon in Wantage, and so far, they have been a big success with families in the area.   I will report once I have a date available.

New Year 2018 Greetings!


Dreaming spires of Oxford in the snow from the top of the new Westgate Centre at the end of 2017 where we can have a beautiful view over the whole city.  I should like to take this opportunity of wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year 2018 and very much looking forward to completing my year as Chairman of Oxfordshire County Council in May.
