My very best wishes for a restful and joyful holiday period to all my constituents in Reading West and friends across our local area.
As many of us seek to re-charge our batteries for the year ahead, celebrating the holiday period with family and friends, let us also offer friendship and give support those less fortunate than ourselves.
Reading has always been a generous town, with a fine civic spirit, and I look forward to seeing that continue into 2024.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to everyone.
