Reporting from Calum Miller, our MP
After more than nine months as your MP for Bicester and Woodstock, I am glad to share what I have been working to achieve for our area and to let you know how you can get in touch with my team and me if we can help you in any way.
Representing you is a privilege, and I have raised key local issues at every opportunity. In December, I led a parliamentary debate on the London Road crossing, securing a response from a transport minister. Many residents oppose its closure, and I believe an underpass for light vehicles and pedestrians is a viable solution. I am pressing East West Rail and the Rail Minister to ensure Bicester is not cut in two.
I have been pressing ministers across government on key local issues. I secured a meeting with the Health Secretary to push for capital funding for GP surgeries, challenged the Prime Minister on reducing long CAMHS waiting times, and questioned the Energy and Net Zero Department on frequent power outages affecting our towns and villages. I have also continued to push for stronger action on water pollution, holding water companies accountable for sewage discharges in our rivers and streams.
In Parliament, I have been working to ensure that vital local issues are addressed. With economic challenges, overstretched public services, and rising costs, I believe in working across parties to find solutions. I have pushed for urgent action on the social care crisis rather than delaying for years, and challenged policies that could harm our communities, including cuts to Winter Fuel Payments, tax increases on small businesses and charities, and changes that threaten family-run farms.
It has been a pleasure to visit so many events across the constituency and meet residents who are passionate about making a difference. From supporting local campaigners cleaning up our waterways to visiting businesses and charities, I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing more about our exciting and vibrant constituency and I look forward to continuing to engage with more residents across the constituency.
I remain committed to ensuring Bicester, Kidlington, Woodstock, and our villages get the attention and investment they need and deserve. If you would like to raise an issue or need assistance, please email me at
