Robert said, "I greatly enjoyed meeting with parish councillors from Curbridge and Lew at the Lord Kitchener recently. I always enjoy meeting with representatives from this most valuable local tier of government. It is interesting to discuss the concerns of communities at the most local level, and I have now met with over a quarter of the 81 parishes in West Oxfordshire. I look forward to many more meetings, and I aim to keep a close bond with those on the ground in each community."
