As 2020 draws to a close and we head into 2021, I want to wish all my constituents a Happy New Year.

2020 has been a tough and challenging year but the roll-out of a vaccine gives us hope for a better year ahead.

I want to pay particular thanks to all the key workers in our public services, in retail, in our postal system, in our public transport services and in our schools who have worked so hard this year to keep the country going. Thank you!

Happy New Year to everyone in Reading East.
