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

Almost every year I wonder how December crept upon us so quickly and this year is no exception. No doubt our thoughts have already turned towards Christmas and New Year celebrations, bringing families and friends together for this special time of year. I always think that it is important that we take a moment to reflect, especially during such a busy time of year, and appreciate our community.

From Christmas light ceremonies and Christmas tree judging competition to Christmas carol services, Christmas carol singing, Christmas dinners, Christmas drinks and the signing of Christmas cards the life of an MP is never still at this time of year. Indeed, it is often far too easy to get lost amid the business and bustle of the season. However, returning to South Staffordshire I am immediately reminded of that Christmas community spirit, where residents go that one step further to make another’s life easier.

I was honoured to recently be invited to visit volunteers from the South Staffordshire Local Village Transport scheme once again. The scheme is invaluable for residents who are without easy access to private or public transport. Getting around our rural constituency, especially during these cold and dark winter months can not only be very difficult but also very scary for those who have mobility issues, something as simple as going to the shops or getting to an important doctor’s appointment can be a huge obstacle to overcome.

The voluntary driving schemes are a vital service for many local residents and can provide them with that little bit of assistance that enables them to stay in their home. I would like to thank the many volunteers who give up their free time to provide this essential service in our community, without whom this excellent scheme would not exist.

The Local Village Transport scheme is just one of many volunteer organisations that I have had the privilege to visit over the last year. I can never express how grateful and proud I am that there are so many selfless groups and individuals here in Wombourne and right across South Staffordshire who give up their time to help others in our village. I am especially reminded about this at Christmas time when I see friends, families, neighbours and communities come together to celebrate the festive season. I hope all Wombourne residents have a very Merry Christmas and wish you all the best for the upcoming year.
