At midnight tonight, Parliament will be dissolved. From that point, there will no longer be any MPs until after the General Election which will take place on 4 July. While Parliament may not be sitting, my office can deal with urgent casework enquiries only via the usual channels.
As many will know, the upcoming General Election will be fought on new constituency boundaries which will see Bicester become its own Parliamentary constituency. Since my first election in 2015, Bicester has grown enormously, with new housing areas including Kingsmere, Elmsbrook and Graven Hill. At the same time, we have seen new schools open like Gagle Brook and Whitefields Academy. Businesses including Siemens Healthineers, Ocado and YASA have all recognised Bicester's potential by choosing to open new state-of-the-art sites in the town.
We should be enormously proud of how the town has flourished, but also how all those living in the town have managed the growing pains. It has been an honour to represent the area as it has undergone such significant change. I wish all those living in Bicester and the nearby villages the very best in the future.
