MP for Warwick and Leamington Matt Western, has shared a heartfelt message to the community this Christmas, thanking locals for their continued support.

"With my best wishes to you and your loved ones this Christmas and festive season.  

"It has been another hugely busy year, both in Parliament and at home in the constituency. There remains much to do both at home and abroad to ensure a safer and more secure world for us all.  

"Thank you for all your support over this last year. It remains the privilege of my life to represent the area I call home. I continue to be enormously grateful for the civil conversations I have all across our towns and villages, whether positive or negative. Thank you.  

"I am so proud of our area, and the people, like you, who make them what they are. We have seen again this year the huge value of our communities standing together and helping one another. It is what makes our towns and villages so special. 

"I look forward to working with you in the New Year and hope you have a wonderful Christmas break. To those working over the festive season, thank you all that you do.  Warmest wishes, Matt Western MP.

"Instead of sending Christmas cards this year, I have made donations to several charities – local and international.
