LICHFIELD’S MP has used his Christmas message to raise the “strength, compassion and generosity” of local communities.
Dave Robertson also spoke of the work carried out by members of the emergency services over the festive period.
The Labour MP said:
“It is wonderful to be able to share my first Christmas message as your MP.
“I must start by wishing everyone in Lichfield, Burntwood and the villages an enormous Merry Christmas.
“I always enjoy getting to 25th December, because it’s a time for family, it’s a time for friends, it’s a time to celebrate, it’s a time for peace, it’s a time for relaxation and I really hope that everybody enjoys that this year.
“But I also think it’s really important that we say thank you to all those in the public services; including the police, the NHS, the fire service and dozens more who will be working to keep us all safe this Christmas.
“Of course, we must never forget those people in the armed services who are serving overseas to keep us safe.
“This year has been a year of change for our community across Lichfield, Burntwood and the villages, but one thing that will never change is the strength, compassion and generosity of our friends, families and neighbours right across our area.
“I’m really looking forward to continuing to meet as many people as I can next year and continuing to see all the wonderful things that are happening across the city, town and villages.
“Until then, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”
